RADAR Alert:

Take 60 Seconds, Save the World from a VAWA Melt-Down!


Twelve years ago the US Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). As a result, 2 million restraining orders are issued every year, half of which don’t involve even an allegation of physical violence. Many of those orders result in fathers losing custody and contact with their children.

Last month the United Nations issued its Study on Violence Against Women. The study recommends that every country around the world enact VAWA-like laws: www.un.org/womenwatch/daw/vaw/.

Of course the UN feminists hoped the UN Third Committee would immediately “welcome” the Study so they could get on with the job. But thanks to your e-mails, phone calls, and faxes, the proposal has been delayed.

Now, time is running out -- the UN Third Committee needs to reach a decision by this coming Wednesday, November 22. That’s the date when the committee wraps up its session.

So this is it folks! This is our last shot! Let’s not hold anything back!

So right now, please send an e-mail or fax to your UN Ambassador – see contact information below. Politely explain that:

The Study on Violence against Women is deeply flawed. If the report is welcomed, its recommendations will cause lasting damage to families, women, and men. Please express your very strong reservations about this harmful study to the UN Third Committee. And vote to only “note” the report, not “welcome” it.

Here’s the contact information. If your country is not listed, send your e-mail or fax to the Ambassadors of France and the Netherlands, who are coordinating the Third Committee’s discussions about the Violence Report:

The Secretary-General’s violence report is rooted in a radical gender ideology. If the report is welcomed and implemented, that will give rise to false allegations of abuse and violate the civil rights of men. This will ultimately cause profound damage to families and children around the world.
