No ministry or government body to represent men and boys


Already there is Women and Child Development (WCD) ministry and National Commission for Women (NCW) to take up all women’s issues and promote laws favouring women. But there is no representation for men or boys in any ministry. As a result of which one after another anti-male are been drafted, passed and enacted by the government.

Men contribute 82% of the income tax, perform toughest of the jobs, bears expenses to run a household for a family. Will a woman ever serve a arm personnel to guard the Line of Control in Siachen Glacier? Will a woman ever work in a mine? Will a woman serving in the police force ever be deployed to control riot? Will a woman serving in Indian Armed Force ever be deployed for combat? Men risk their life to earn a living. Doesn’ t they deserve protection towards their money and property?

The need of the hour is a Men’s Welfare ministry which would take up the issues faced by the men and boys. Otherwise by dissolving Women and Child Development (WCD) ministry and National Commission for Women (NCW) we can have a Gender Equality ministry which would ensure that all laws that are enacted are gender balanced and not gender biased.
