The hidden victims of domestic violence

By Vanessa de Largie - posted Tuesday, 14 June 2022


However, unlike Clarke's murder, Obi's death didn't manage to spark an Australian-wide debate – we heard absolutely NOTHING but crickets.

Obi's older brother Maximus said Stanley was his role model and "one of the best people that ever walked the planet". He added that his brother was the "true definition of a father" and his only error in life was loving and having children with the woman who would ultimately kill him.

Unfortunately, it has got to the point where innocent, loving men can be murdered by women and their deaths remain predominantly unacknowledged by the Australian media and general public.

Add on 'misandry flavoured content' that fills our TV shows, magazines and newspapers, is it any wonder that male suicides are on the rise in this country?

No human being (regardless of gender) deserves silence when they are murdered, especially you, Stanley Obi.

I am deeply sorry.
