The statement comes after Shaq fled the villa with Tom following last week's movie night following clips being shown of Tanya's actions while away in Casa Amor.
The footage showed Tanya kissing Martin in bed and rather than apologising, she fought with him on it.
ITV told The Mirror in response to the statement: "Love Island holds a mirror up to relationships and all the different dynamics that go with them."
In recent seasons, women's domestic abuse charities have issued statements over the behaviour of some of the male contestants, and Mankind Initiative believe the same should be considered when the roles are reversed.
Last year, ITV changed things when it came to the pre- and post care the contestants received before and after going into the Love Island villa.
Following understandable ongoing concerns about the show's impact on contestants' mental health, ITV has made some important changes to their duty of care protocols.
Back in 2018, the channel launched a review of participant welfare processes, and this year, they have gone even further when it comes to how the contestants are taken care of, both before they enter and once they exit the villa.
