Voice your opinion against the proposed, biased "Protection of Women's Privacy & Dignity bill"

Voice your opinion against the proposed, partisan "Protection of Women's Privacy & Dignity bill" 

PASS(Purushavakasa Samrakshana Samiti, NGO, Thrissur. www.mensrights.in) - A group of our members are going to Trivandrum on 30th May, to represent our views and concerns about the proposed "2013, Kerala, Protection of Women's privacy and Decency Act"(for details refer the Bill text), infront of the Subject committee(who has called the public and interested organisations for representing their views, recording their opinions and evidences thereby).

This  Subject committee(No. XIV) is headed by CM of Kerala(refer The constitution of the committeePress Note & Questionnaire for more details. You can also refer "The Handbook on Subject Committees" to prepare yourselves fully)

Other NGOs across Kerala too are attending this meeting with the subject committee in big numbers, this is a big opportunity for us to get our voices heard by the authorities and to prevent misuse of another upcoming law against men!.

Requesting friends to join us in big numbers, so that we can show our concern and seriousness in terms of our numbers too. Contact Gokul: 9633409355 or Sreekumar: 9446326794 for confirming your participation.

Tentative plan of visit: Leave Thrissur by 29th night to reach TVM by 10AM on 30th May. Leave TVM by night on 30th May.

*********************************
PS: Why we oppose this bill 1) Its not gender neutral, Men cannot take recourse of this law, if another man or woman does what is described as 'crime' in this bill 2) There is no misuse clause, as is the case with other widely misused women-protection laws.

"Peedanam"(Harassment/Violation of privacy and dignity of women, as if only women has privacy and dignity!!!) as defined in this bill is open to (mis)interpretation of the complainant, if she "feels" or "feigns" that she was violated(peedippikka pettu enna "thonnal"/ or "naatyam"!) the man is in soup.

There are no checks and balances especially when the 'crime-scene' setting is one to one, and its most probably than not one mans(woman-accuser) word against the another(the accused man). And in this law the word of a women is enough as proof(if she reports that the accused talked about her indecently/threatened to defame her, etc), which makes this law highly biased against men, as is the other women-protection laws which are being widely misused

Nowhere in this world does gender biased laws get implemented in such a large scale than in India. At least now that we know the situation and wide-spread misuse and losses due to such misuse ....why do we allow another biased law to be passed, when we know that its going to be misused!.

Indian Media acknowledges the shortfalls of the Sexual Harrasment Bill

Original post here-> INSAAF: Indian Media acknowledges the shortfalls of the Sexual Harrasment Bill

Madhu Kishwar Blasts Sexual Harassment Bill on India NewsX:


Part-1



Part-2



With reference to the above videos, here is the issue with reference to what's wrong with Domestic Violence act(DVA act), which has a clause in the same lines "Sexual Harassment Panel is to be headed by a Woman, who is committed to the cause of Women"

At the first or even the second glance its doesn't look a bad clause, it even looks good since, as Ms.Madhu Kishwar too mentions, women will open up(about the sexual harassment she had to experience) better to a woman.

The real issue is that this Sexual harassment act will become a money making(extortion) racket as soon as it hits ground, and then the definition of "Woman who is committed to the cause of women" will be totally different, it will then mean "Woman who convicts most number of men, regardless of whether he is guilty or innocent. Here more men pressurised to pay compensation or through out-of-the-court settlement means more turnover to the new extortion industry spawned by Sexual Harassment Act.

This Sexual Harassment Bill, as soon as it becomes an Act, it will be like the multi-million industry(extortion) like in case of  the misuse of IPC 498a  or DV Act, where lawyers make money, women organisations make money through more cases/statistics and hence funds from UN and benefactors from the moist eyed/sympathetic western world(seeing false, cooked-up statistic of how many women are victimsed!) , police makes, money, unscrupulous law-misusing women/wives make money.

Making the Sexual Harassment Bill Gender Neutral, the real issue:


Thats exactly what the anti-family anti-India lobby would resist and oppose with tooth and nail.

This law is not at all aimed to protect women, just see how many harassed women get justice

One can just review the results with respect to other existing women-protection laws for assessing the reality and the clear trend of deception!, no victim gets justice, whatever be the gender!...

These laws are aimed only at making an industry of extortion around them, at the cost of wrecking the social structure and peace and hence national stability and security in India(as well as any other countries, including USA, where similar laws prevail(like the VAWA(Violence against Women Act) in USA)).

The powerful corporations which run and bleed nations are behind this, whether its a plan from scratch or not!(it need not be like the Illuminati theory goes).

The chaos and insecurity in people makes excellent ground for unplanned lives and hence expenditure in not-so-priority products and services(luxury, fad, high margin products and services).
