Fraud in making of Sexual Harrasement @ workplace Law !

I understand that all citizen of this country would be thinking that how our law makers can have one sided, anti-male, anti-good female and anti children laws in the country.

Here is the answer in a well documented form that the National Commission for Women(NCW) and the Women and Child Development Ministry (WCD Ministry) are violating the same while drafting the Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill.

Are these bodies above the Constitution of India?

They may not be above constitution but our goverment is also not only passing such laws but also doing all frauds in the name of law making process.

Click on the link below to see how and why are they manipulating/violating law making process just in order to create another anti-male law in the gender industry.

You are correct if you are thinking that "This country is going to DOGS"........

Shame on law makers.

*Delay in treatment costs Mati jail inmate her baby - Jailed due to 498A*

KANPUR: Lack of necessary and immediate medical facilities at the Mati district jail of Kanpur Dehat cost a woman jail inmate her 18-month-old baby girl.

Suman, a woman inmate and a resident of Kishti Rasoolbad, was lodged at the Mati district jail on February 1, 2010 under dowry act. She was staying in the women's barrack of the jail along with her one-and-half- year-old daughter Disha. On June 6, the child developed fever. In the absence of proper medical facilities at the jail, the child was shifted to district hospital in Kanpur Dehat on June 9, 2010 where her condition deteriorated further. She was later referred to Lala Lajpat Rai hospital but died during treatment in the wee hours of Monday.

The child's maternal grandmother Tara, also at present languishing in the same jail on similar charges, claimed that no immediate arrangement had been made by jail authorities for the child's treatment. As a result, the baby girl died.

"The child was thrice admitted to the district hospital in Kanpur Dehat and every time the hospital authorities did not attend to the child properly and send her back to the district jail," alleged Disha's maternal grandmother Tara.

When her condition worsened again on June 13 that the doctors at the district hospital in Kanpur Dehat finally referred her to Lala Lajpat Rai hospital where she breathed her last on Monday at 4.10 am, the woman claimed.

However, according to doctors of paediatric department of LLR, the death occurred due to high temperature and diarrhoea. The child's kin have demanded necessary compensation for the bereaved mother.

"The girl was suffering from fever and dysentery. On Monday, her condition worsened and she died during treatment," informed jail superintendent SK Suri. He also admitted that Disha had to be rushed to hospital thrice in the past.

The police were awaiting the postmortem report to know the actual cause of death as her family alleged that she had died due to poor medical treatment at the district jail.

Supreme Court's directives:
Supreme Court of India has issued directions to the central and state governments to provide children of women prisoners in jail and their mothers, facilities and opportunity to lead normal healthy life.

Article 15 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. However, it allows special provisions to women and children.

Article 45 stipulates that the state shall provide early childhood care and education to all children until the age of six. Article 47 lays down the raising of level of nutrition and standard of living of people and improvement of public health as a primary duty of the state.

Fact at Mati district jail:
As per the officials, no separate or specialised medical facilities for children are available in Mati district jail. A total number of 34 women inmates, along with their children, are living in difficult conditions and suffering deprivation relating to food, healthcare, accommodation, education and recreation.

NATIONAL FATHERS DAY RALLY

Bhavya Foundation supports CRISP (Regd. NGO)

We the members of CRISP have organized a “NATIONAL FATHERS DAY RALLY” on 19th June 2010, to stop the creation of a fatherless society which coincides with fathers day which is celebrated throughout the world to recognize and to honor the fathers for everything they are doing for the children& express gratitude for their love, care and protection to their children.

Details of the function:
Time : 10:00 AM to 1.30 PM
Venue : Mahatma Gandhi Statue, MG Road, Bangalore.

CRISP is an NGO formed in 2008 at Bangalore by people who recognized the serious effects of Parental Alienation of children due to single parenting in divorce/separation. Now we have chapters throughout the country. CRISP speaks up for the Rights of Children to remain connected with and enjoy the love of both the natural parents being divorced or separated. Our aims and objectives are based on research findings. Our members come from all walks of life, like software engineers, doctors, teachers, businessmen, social workers, etc. which includes women and senior citizens. All family roles like grandparents, fathers, mothers, etc., are being represented. CRISP has charted a Pro-Family agenda to promote family harmony in our society.
Parental Alienation: Psychological Effects on the Child

Parental alienation occurs when one parent estranges the children from the other parent for personal vendetta. Children are brainwashed (used as pawns in divorce/ separation) by the dominant parent against the non-custodial parent (usually fathers). This brings a lot of mental distress & trauma to the child and the alienated parent and is particularly damaging to the child’s psychology and is Child Abuse. Extensive psychological studies over decades collectively called “The Spectrum of Parental Alienation Syndrome1” describe the detrimental effects on the child. In western countries, mainly U.S and Europe, organizations (including medical, judicial & NGOs) have gone into the depths of this and are trying hard to preserve families and save children. Unfortunately, our own country which once prided possessing “family values” now needs to learn basic lessons from the west. Its a well known fact that neglected children and children from broken families are more prone to take to crime. In India, NOT even a single such study/ research has been done. There is a serious need to commit to research and save children from this situation, which is completely being ignored. As a society, we are largely ignorant of the effects.

Indian legal system and society at large is still based on a patriarchal mindset which considers fathers incapable of nurturing children which is incorrect. Men are as capable as women to be caregivers and bring up children in a normal way. Even if the woman (mother) assumes that the man is not a good husband, it is out of place to say he is not also a good father for the children until there is strong evidence against the father. Thus, women (mothers) need to understand that her animosity for the husband & his family should be kept separate from the child’s need for his/her father and must share the children with their estranged husband in the best interest of their children. After all, the father if far better than strangers, servants, day-care and nannies!

Judicial & Governmental Apathy: Anti-Child, Anti-Father & Anti-Family

Divorce/ Separation is between spouses. Not child and parent. This is common sense. There is no law requiring a normal father to keep away from his child, in divorce/ separation proceedings. On the other hand, U.N’s Child Rights Convention (to which India also acceded about 20 years ago and then did nothing about) requires the state (of which the Judicial systems are a part) to ensure that
the child does not suffer separation! However, the way justice is administered, the child is separated from the father (mostly) for years! One has to “apply” for “visitation” that takes years to “grant” and even then for a paltry time. Innocent children suffer because parents are separating & fight for their egos! Our judicial mechanism has a deplorable understanding of child welfare based on biased and outdated social concepts. The father is a relegated to a mere “visitor”, eliminating involvement in the child’s life and just a “maintenance” paying ATM machine. It virtually condemns the child to an illegitimate. This is neither in the child’s nor the family’s interest and destroys the foundation for the future generation.

It’s a fact that even convicted criminals have better access to their children 2.That is the extent of judicial apathy towards children and good fathers in family courts!
Our Family Laws and Courts are not only functioning insensitively in an anti-child, anti-father and anti-family manner, but are also flouting U.N’s Child Rights Convention (CRC) and even the Constitution of India3. Child’s rights cannot be subordinated to anything!

The Indian judiciary would do well to educate itself, provide training to judges and inculcate good international practices in the family law systems. The judiciary must become more accountable, transparent, improve the quality of justice and urgently implement extensive judicial reforms in right earnest, if it wishes to be a credible and potent justice system.

Why is a Family institution needed in the first place? Family is the most fundamental building block of society. It builds healthy human beings and healthy society. When family system breaks, its leads to serious social consequences4 and surge in crime rates. A main contributor to teenage pregnancies is broken families. It’s well known that children from broken homes are more prone to crime.

In US, it has been found after extensive scientific research that children from broken families without a father are:

14 times more likely to commit rape
5 times more likely to commit suicide
20 times more likely to end up in prison
10 times more likely to take drugs
32 times more likely to run away from home
20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders
9 times more likely to drop out of school
9 times more likely to end up in a state operated institution

From here it’s a short step to even more serious anti-national crimes like terrorism. Social upheaval/ instability are heavily exploited by anti-nationals and terrorists.

For a country like India, the breaking of the family system will be catastrophic to social well being and economic growth. Even today, the government spends crores on internal security. People are spending years in courts instead of engaging productively.
