It's Not All Men, But All Men Can Help: Hannah Clarke's Story | Dave Kramer - 845

Hannah Clarke’s tragic story shook Australia to the core and brought the conversation around men’s violence against women to the spotlight.

In late 2023 I listened to the podcast series ‘Hannah’s Story’, hosted by Australian Broadcast Journalist & Nine News Presenter Melissa Downes. Hearing the full details of her ordeal deepened my understanding of coercive control and abusive behavior, igniting my awareness of the critical issue we have within Australia.

In this episode, I had the privilege of spending time with Hannah Clarke’s best friend, Dave Kramer, an opportunity I’ll forever truly cherish. Dave opens up about his personal experiences with Hannah and their friendship, while also reflecting on her tragic story and how knowing what he now knows, what needs to change within our societies culture to prevent behaviours leading to tragedies such as this. Since Hannah’s death, Dave has dedicated himself to Small Steps 4 Hannah and to raising awareness about domestic violence, the responsibility men have in challenging toxic behaviors, and the role we all must play in creating a safer society.

This conversation with Dave is a much-needed example of the courage and allyship Australian women desperately want and need as we push for change in our fight against domestic violence. This is a tough conversation, but one that needs to happen.

Thanks, Dave, from all of us.
