Fine words. But why then does the UN support anti-male laws such as those introduced to India in 2006 where a man can be jailed for insulting any female relative http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article614140.ece
"The Lawyers Collective, one of the groups that led the campaign [to create the 2006 Indian domestic violence laws] will now use a grant by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women to help the Indian legal system adjust the ways it handles domestic abuse cases" http://www.unifem.org/gender_issues/voices_from_the_field/story.php?StoryID=543
