U.N. Rejects Secretary-General's Report on Violence Against Women
Hot off the presses: On Wednesday, the United Nations decided to “noteâ€, but not to “acknowledge†the dangerous Secretary-General’s report on Violence Against Women assembled under the corrupt administration of Kofi Annan. This means that the report will probably not be acted upon.
It appears this took place because of tremendous pressure placed on the United Nations by RADAR and its hundreds of affiliates and co-signatories.
This is a major gain for reformers working diligently to replace senselessly-destructive feminist social frameworks with truly beneficial pro-family solutions. It is also a step forward in achieving a major goal: ending terrorism by world feminists. Radical feminism has been a focal point of the bitter major cultural disagreement between Muslims and the West in recent years.
America must now adopt moderate approaches to gender with respect to social power, law, divorce, and family policy if it wishes to reduce stark cultural tensions that have culminated in radical Muslim attacks on the West. Feminist policies must be ended. Marriage must be restored as the social norm, for this is the only arrangement assuring equal sociall rights and power sharing between men and women.
This event now points directly to the outrageousness of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which was strongly supported by past Democrat and Republican-dominated congresses and presidents.
America is now officially out of step with the world. The new Congress must now substantially revise VAWA. Given the fact there is little worth keeping in VAWA, it would be wiser to redact VAWA entirely and replace it with useful policies recognizing the true etiology of domestic conflict, and targeted towards providing preventive and interventive treatment for the benefit of spouses who request assistance dealing with an abusive partner.

Stumble It!
All,
I greatly oppose MND permitting feminist operatives to poison the work of the Movement.
The U.N. accepts literally all resolutions, including any reports that were introduced (whether accepted or rejected). The word “Note”, in U.N. parlance, is a rejection. The take away: the U.N. condemned violence against women (which I condemn too), but it unanimously rejected the Secretary-General’s take on what violence is.
Mr. Guess is a feminist operative who is here to make it look like legitimate Mens and Fathers activists are whacko, via all possible means of disinformation. Mr. Guess is far more radical than the United Nations, and thinks he is smarter than the U.N. Third Committee. This, in itself, is a red flag indicating the Mr. Guess is a feminist operative, not a legitimate purveyor of reasonable thinking and honest educated discourse.
Dad with Girls – that’s because this post is total BS. The UN Voted to adopt a resolution condemning violence against women.
http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2006/gashc3877.doc.htm
“Drafts on the new international humanitarian order, violence against women, and international cooperation on human rights were adopted by consensus”
[...] In fact, the assertions made in the U.N. Secretary Generals Report on Violence Against Women were so outrageous that the U.N. Third Committee voted unanimously to only “note†the report, rather than accept it. In parliamentary language, this is a full rejection — a rare event at the United Nations. [...]
It is the march of the Feminists, and of all places I found this on what is supposed to be a conservative magazine. It is about India’s Dowry murders. What are they thinking? Well, we have this murder problem so lets go ahead and change all the marriage laws! You could tell the feminist that wrote it could hardly hold back her glee. Dave have you seen the article?

If so, good news and a sound result from all the hard work done by RADAR. A better result would be a resounding rejection but frankly that is a pie in the sky hope from the UN.
What would I like to see? Sasha Baron Cohen being ‘converted’ to a N.O.W. acolyte and making a film where he is a rabid feminist whipping up public ‘consciousness raising’. Just think of the fun he could have with the stats those harpies like to invent. He could hold press conferences and get politicians to agree that 104% of women are raped every 4 minutes; charts that are totally incomprehensible that prove that 3 in 4 women die in the bedroom which is more than any other room in the house; that families are the most dangerous places for 98% of women who die in droves, and especially when pregnant; that 76% of pregnant women die at the hands of husbands and the other 24% with boyfriends, which is the real reason the birth rate is falling; he could be a shelter operator complaining that he only gets $3.45 per capita to deal with the entire city of Chicago’s female population who phone his shelter every week; he could show his phone line operators (all women) phoning each other to report sexual abuse, just to make ends meet; and then there are his sexual abuse classes for men teaching them how to do it correctly with a man nailed to a Duluth Wheel and rolled through Times Square; he could hold impromptu sidewalk interviews asking men when they last beat their wife black and blue and getting them to demonstrate on an inflateable sex toy; sidewalk givaways of mobile phones to women with only his shelter number available on it; immolation classes for wives to show them how to set fire to sleeping husbands, with corporate sponsorship and give away jerry cans of gas from the Rockerfeller Foundation; shool teacher interviews (women only) who do sex ed demos with young (grinning, slavering) boys, to show how women can teach boys empathy via their ‘natural’ impulses. He could have a ball.
You will probably not see anything published on the U.N. site. RADAR will probably be making a formal release about this next week.
I have tried unsuccessfully to find a web link to the actual U.N. “decision” or announcement regarding this report.
Can anyone provide one?
I have found numerous statements like this —
“The 140-page report, entitled “In-depth study on all forms of violence against women,” which was issued by Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s office, confirms that violence against women by spouses, family members and employers is a human rights violation, settling any outstanding debate on this issue.
By squarely stating that it is, the report says that governments have an obligation to protect women whether the perpetrators are state or non-state actors.
This report acknowledges for the first time from the highest levels of the United Nations what human and women’s rights advocates have documented over the past few decades: violence against women is a massive human rights violation that is both a cause and a consequence of deeply ingrained inequality between men and women,†said Charlotte Bunch, executive director of the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers University, and a member of the secretary-general’s International Advisory Committee for the study.”

How might I verify that the U.N. has in any documented sense “rejected” this report?
