YERKAUD(Tamil Nadu): As many as 22 national NGOs participated in the 3rd Men’s Rights Conference held at Yercaud in Tamil Nadu on the 14th and the 15th of August, 2010.
The organizations marked a “sugarless” Independence Day this year as a symbol of the bitter life they have been handed out by women who harass them and even deny them parenting rights.
“SIFF and its allied NGOs, under the aegis of the Save Indian Family movement, called for a “Sugarless Independence Day”, this year. Men’s rights activists who attended the conference decided to have sugarless tea/coffee on the 15th of August, 2010 and also did not had any other sweets. This was an epitome of the bitterness in the lives of men who are living in a society where there are only expectations from them and no acceptance for them”, said Mandeep Puri, coordinator of the Chandigarh Chapter.
