A recent news has made a United Nations’ super-agency out of 4 existing agencies working for benefit of women. Read full news later: It is however not clear if this move will really help in empowerment of women. Most likely the consolidated funds will be used to strengthen the position of the few top feminists in these organisations. http://www.c-fam.org/publications/id.1660/pub_detail.asp By Samantha Singson Amanda Pawloski NEW YORK, July 8 (C-FAM) Last Friday the General Assembly voted to consolidate four separate United Nations (UN) bodies dedicated to women’s issues into one new gender equality entity called “UN Women.” The resolution capped a victory for radical feminists who lobbied for years for the new entity and is the latest in an overall push to bring women’s … [Read more...] about UN super agency to help women or help radical feminists?

Pathetic NCW tries its luck again with Supreme Court
If the news of NCW mismanaging its funds was not enough, here they go again at wasting more funds on non-issues. Kicking bahu not cruelty? SC to review The National Commission for Women, through counsel Aparna Bhat, moved a curative petition requesting reconsideration of the judgment in the case between Bhaskar Lal Sharma and his daughter-in-law Monica. Curative petitions normally have a 99% failure rate in the apex court. NCW said the ruling would defeat the very purpose of the provision to protect women from cruelty and harassment in matrimonial homes. Yeah… if you define cruelty to woman the way a feminist defines: “like he looked at me in a strange way, and I was terrified” NCW had reflected the views of Karat who had said the apex court's decision would only "further … [Read more...] about Pathetic NCW tries its luck again with Supreme Court
NCW is helping itself with taxpayer money, but just not helping women
Fresh news breaks about National Commission for Women’s wayward ways with taxpayer money: Audit raps NCW for huge backlog, spendthrift ways NEW DELHI: * Of the 12,895 complaints that came to National Commission for Women (NCW) between 2008-09, only a little over half (7,509) were addressed. Of these, only 14% could be disposed of.

Conclusion: What a women’s NGO does with taxpayer money is nobody else’s business. * Mandatory requirements like jail visits to assess living conditions of women have not been made for the past 4 years. These … [Read more...] about NCW is helping itself with taxpayer money, but just not helping women
NCW facing resistance from Family oriented organisations

NCW harassing women, is that news to me?

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 … [Read more...] about NCW trying to become more powerful and more pathetic
