In an open question about rather men should have access to the national helpline for victims of domestic violence, the Ministry for Equality between Women and Men and the Fight against Discrimination replied:

"Opening the 3919 helpline to a mixed audience would effectively undermine its fundamental purpose and dilute the specialized response provided to female victims. Such a shift would also risk weakening the awareness-raising message aimed at the general public by obscuring the systemic nature of violence against women and the gender dynamics at play in domestic violence."

Instead, they invite men to call 2 other helplines, one being for victims of an offense (crimes against property or persons, traffic accidents, mass-casualty incidents, terrorist attacks or a natural disaster), and the other for general legal aid, and even recommend specialized associations, such as SOS Homophobia (?!).
