CEDAW: or how I invited UN to destroy my family and country

The flyer below from RADAR gives the basic information about the nefarious designs and activities of organisations affiliated to United Nations.

http://mediaradar.org/docs/RADARflyer-CEDAW-and-IVAWA.pdf

CEDAW is a treaty promoted by the United
Nations. CEDAW stands for the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women. 

CEDAW has a committee of 23 U.N. “gender
experts” that enforce compliance with the treaty.
These are some of the enforcement actions the
committee has taken in recent years:
•  Told China to de-criminalize prostitution.
•  Criticized Ireland for the role of religion in
society.
•  Censured Belarus for observing Mother’s Day.

Concerned Women for America warned, “CEDAW
is fundamentally flawed…The United States should
not give our prestige, nor subject our citizens, to
CEDAW.”

When a UN’s convention aims to de-criminalize prostitution and also censure Mother’s Day at the same time, you know who is behind it – the feminazis and female supremacists.

And the Domestic Violence industry (the bureaucracy, lawyers, judiciary) wants us to believe that families are the worst oppressors of women:

The Department of Justice reports that only 2% of
aggressive incidents between partners involve
married couples who live together.

The intact family is the safest place for women and men.

But the well-financed domestic violence industry
wants you to believe the opposite – that the best
way to stop abuse is to break up families.

The most tragi-comic incident is hardly credulous, but you have to stretch your beliefs when dealing with the feminazis:

Talk-show host David Letterman was accused of
committing domestic violence against a woman that he
had never met or heard of. A New Mexico judge
granted a restraining order against Letterman on the
grounds that he had harassed the woman with mental
telepathic messages and televised facial gestures. The
case was eventually dismissed.

i-VAWA is all Woozles

The RADAR organisation has published several flyers against international VAWA (Violence against Women Act), an act which aims to export the much-successful policies of family-breaking and social upheaval of western feminists to other countries, now that their captive markets have seen saturation and backlash.

What is a a woozle:

A “woozle” is a one-sided or fictitious claim
designed to influence public opinion. Many
woozles are found in the proposed International
Violence Against Women Act:

The Woozles from above flyer are:

  1. Only women are victims of domestic violence
  2. When women engage in partner violence, it is typically done in self-defence
  3. Domestic violence is caused by abusers’ need for power and control
  4. Society condones violence against women
  5. There is no cause for concern for violence against men

NCW facing resistance from Family oriented organisations

 

http://newsblaze.com/story/20100310073053mand.nb/topstory.html

Accusing the National Commission of Women (NCW) of being "biased", three national level organisations that are active in combating dowry harassment and other atrocities against women, said the body "should change its name to the national commission of daughters-in-law".

You bet!  there can be other possible names for NCW like:

  1. National Commission for Wives
  2. National Commission for Promoting Feminism
  3. National Commission for Family-Destruction
  4. National Commission for Young Reproductive Females (who are so crucial to feminazis’ cause)

Also from the news:

"India should be prevented from becoming an anti-marriage, anti-family, fatherless 'welfare state'. Laws and policies must be based on the principles of equity and fairness and not on radical feminist ideologies and false statistics. The feminist culture of mass irresponsibility should be done away with", said Manjit Puri coordinator of APMPA's local unit.

It is clearly feminist influence on NCW that it pushes for changes in laws which absolve young reproductive women of all responsibilities relating to marriage, relationships, or children.  On the other hand it pushes for laws which pronounce men as guilty before trial and beholden to give their life and liberty away for feminists’ cause of providing money to the State so that irresponsible young reproductive women can be taken care of by State, at men’s expense.

70% of all BJP MPs are opposed to Women Reservation Bill

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/BJP-chief-whip-spills-it-out--70--of-MPs-oppose-Women-s-Bill/589444 

“At least seventy per cent of MPs are protesting against the women’s reservation Bill and the way the party supported the Bill despite marshals being used in Rajya Sabha. Top leaders of the party have assured that grievances of the MPs will be taken into account,” Bais told The Indian Express, adding that Murli Manohar Joshi and Yashwant Sinha had already held the first round of discussions.

I would not be too surprised at such a statistic.  After all, the resentment against 33% women’s reservation has been suppressed only because of overall media championing and political-correctness of the ‘cause’ of women empowerment.  No body of any importance wants to be seen voicing opinion against women reservation in parliament, because they will be labelled as Neanderthals, or male chauvinist pig, or something like that.

Countries like Germany have women reservation in parliament but it is not by proposed lottery system of making a constituency reserved.  The political parties there have to make sure 30% or so of women candidates are selected by them to represent people.

Evidently, the masters of our fate have decided that giving responsibility of ensuring women’s representation to political parties will not work!  It is a strange argument where the politicians attempt to ignore a much better legislation on the ground that they are incompetent to practise the much better law.

NCW harassing women, is that news to me?

NCW is known to harass women, I mean not the young women of reproductive age but everyone else who is related to a man as sister, mother etc.  But this allegation of harassment has come not from those women but from ex-NCW member Nirmala Venkatesh.

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/85761/India/Ex-NCW+member+says+chairperson+Vyas+harassed+her.htm

New Delhi, February 26, 2010

Women are being harassed by the National Commission of Women itself, former member Nirmala Venkatesh alleged on Thursday. She held chairperson Girija Vyas responsible.

Pointing to the recent resignation of Neeva Konwar from the commission, Venkatesh said she too was a victim.

Venkatesh alleged that Vyas and member secretary S. Chatterjee "conspired and suppressed" inquiry reports submitted by her and Konwar and then blamed them for dereliction of duty and not filing reports in time.

"The commission should be renamed the National Commission of Women for Harassment," Venkatesh said. She appealed to the Prime Minister to take a serious note of the issue and demanded the resignation of Vyas.

Konwar, wife of Bihar governor Devanand Konwar, had resigned from the commission on February 12. She had alleged that some NCW officials conspired against her and did not table a report submitted by her.

Vyas rubbished the allegations.

" I work up to 18 hours a day," she said adding that it was well known there was an ongoing dispute between Venkatesh and Renuka Chowdhury. Venkatesh had been sacked following last year's Mangalore pub incident which she was inquiring into. She was accused of leaking the report to the media before submitting it to the commission.

Venkatesh refuted the charge alleging that Chatterjee and Vyas had deliberately concealed her report even as the then women and child development minister Chowdhury repeatedly demanded to see it.

Even if Venkatesh's claims are a bit too late, the state of affairs at the commission is hardly commendable.

NCW trying to become more powerful and more pathetic

Now NCW wants to be able to prosecute men, even in criminal complaints!  This could be a long dreamt wish come true for diehard men-hating Indian feminists.  Unfortunately for them, there will be definitely some people in government with brains who will not allow a quasi-women rights body to assume powers of criminal justice system.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Women-s-rights-panel-likely-to-get-more-teeth/H1-Article1-508919.aspx

A bigger and stronger National Commission for Women to ensure implementation of women-related laws and investigation of complaints is in the offing.

As of now, the women rights watchdog has powers of a civil court but cannot investigate complaints or prosecute accused and initiate action against those who refuse to follow NCW orders, thereby rendering it toothless.

This is set to change with Women and Child Development minister Krishna Tirath seeking 24 changes in the NCW Act, 1990, bringing it at par with National Human Rights Commission and National Commission for Protection of Child Rights.

“Millions of women look up to the institution for day-to-day support. It is very necessary to scale up the institution’s capacity and infrastructure,” Tirath said in a letter written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on February 9. “We need to make NCW vibrant, dynamic body, capable to address women's issues more effectively and intensely.”

Oh please… millions of women look to NCW for day to day support?  We know that feminism and hyperbole go hand in hand, but at least tell some lies which can be gulped easily by public without bursting the food pipe.

The amendment proposed in the NCW Act, once enacted, would change how the commission works.  The government also proposes to give NCW power to prosecute a person, against whom evidence of committing a criminal offence against a woman is found. “The amendment will provide succour to women who fail to get justice from existing government institutions,” a ministry official said.

Evidence of committing a criminal offence?  So now NCW will assume powers of courts of finding evidence, conducting a trial, punishing the guilty and so on.  Keep dreaming you nutty feminists!

It has also suggested that tenure of the chairperson and members should be for minimum three years. The chairperson would be of the rank of Cabinet Secretary and members of Secretary.

So grabbing some power is the real reason isn’t it.  I mean if this sole demand was met, all the rest could as well go to the dustbin.  NCW chairperson is so eager to be treated on par with cabinet secretaries, the highest bureaucratic post in government!

Tirath has sought PM’s approval to appoint Kapila Vatsayan, a Rajya Sabha member, as a head of the committee to consider suggestions to make NCW a “vibrant and a meaningful body”. The ministry also plans to hold a meeting of all former chairpersons and members of NCW and presents members of State Commissions for Women to draw a strategy for making women commissions a powerful body to ensure women emancipation.

When men forgive women

This 19 Feb news of 2 Iranian women assaulting police officers in Bangalore was was covered in all Bangalore papers.

http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article/1/2010021920100219075405340960290be/iMaafii-%E2%80%98I-forgive-them%E2%80%99.html

What is interesting is one of the assaulted cops saying he has forgiven the women.   Nothing wrong in that per se, after all this is reputedly the country of Mahatma Gandhi and Ahimsa parmo dharma.  Let us get a glimpse of the events:

She allegedly broke open the side box of Rao’s patrol bike and took back the insurance documents her friend had handed him. Fazile allegedly tried to drive away in the car. Rao closed the barricade. Police say she then assaulted Rao all over his body and kicked his private parts.

She also bit him on his hand and punched his face. Fatima also assaulted Rao.

Rao fell after he was kicked on his private parts and sat on the road median. Other motorists came to Rao’s rescue and some damaged the girls’ car.

….

….

“Forgiveness is the best revenge. I am ready to forgive the women. But as a government servant, I will go by whatever my senior police officers want me to do,” he said. My family saw the news on TV. “They telephoned me and started crying
after they learnt that I had been assaulted.”

All this is fine, I wonder what would have been the public reaction if it was 2 male drunk drivers stopped by a female cop, and then the cop was assaulted by one of the male drivers!  Maybe a push on her chest will automatically qualify as sexual assault, whereas a woman kicking male cop in the groin is all game!  It is difficult to think a magnanimous gesture of forgiveness on her part, and that apart the men themselves will come to her defence.
