The National Coalition for Men will meet political parties in India and urge them to acknowledge men’s rights in their manifestos
The NCM will meet political parties across the country and urge them to acknowledge men’s rights in their manifestos. The NCM expressed concern over increase in the misuse of “gender biased” laws which have led to men committing suicide.
“When the complainant is a woman, in every case, men are presumed guilty until they are proven innocent. Even a frivolous accusation against a man makes him lose his job, is looked down upon by the society and is treated like a criminal,” Gupta said.
Some of the NCM’s demands include making laws, including the Domestic Violence Act gender, neutral so as to protect men against domestic violence and facilitate rehabilitation of men who are acquitted. It also demanded a mechanism to facilitate speedy trial of undertrials languishing in jails and equal and unbridled rights to child custody.
