FT | men's Crisi Center | 02/08/2011


FT | Men's Crisis Center 
Women have been fighting for equality for a long time now. In most places (communities, families, schools, institutes and organizations) the value for women are being recognized but Feminist are still working around the clock to ensure that women are treated equally (with dignity and respect), that they receive equal opportunity and that they are able to work and live in a safe and secure environment. 

I found this letter (below) in our daily newspaper called the Fiji Times:

Equal rightsI believe in equal rights be it for woman or for man. One thing that come to my attention is while we have woman's crisis centre, social welfare centre's for woman and children but not a single organisation for man. Why the injustice?

I could not help but wonder, If men feel strongly about this so-called injustice then why don't they do something about it. Women did. So i decided to post a reply and here is my 5 cents. 

Mens Crisis Center 
When women saw a need for a Women's Crisis Center they got together the relevant resources and established one.I suggest for concerned men like Mr. Ashneel Prasad (FT 28/7) to do the same. If he thinks men require a crisis center he should consult with the relevant authorities and establish one.I am sure their is no rule against not having a center for men.
