Contrary to the general notion that woman are the major victims of domestic abuse and violence, it has now been revealed that more men suffer such abuse than women.
Disclosing this information was Professor Basirat Olushola Oladipupo while delivering the 71st inaugural lecture of the Lagos State University (LASU) on Tuesday evening, at the Ojo campus of the institution.
The professor of Health Education disclosed that recent researches had revealed that though more men suffer emotional and psychological trauma born of domestic abuse from their wives but such men have always kept mute about their experiences simply because of their chauvinistic ego.
The latest addition to the lofty ladder of academia empathised that the noise of domestic abuse and violence had been unduly loud in favour of women whereas many more men are actually going through untold hell at home in the hands of their spouses.
She noted also that the rate of suicide has kept rising as a result such domestic abuse and other social environmental factors.
