Feminists' field day at UN continues....

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) continues its annual rite of self-congratulation, women-worshiping, and male-bashing at the United Nations.

Many governments took the podium in the conference room of the United Nations to spew out their totalitarian feminist agenda, which are in many instances controversial in their own countries, but are presented as proud achievements or well-intentioned plan to solve the plight of women, especially "girl-child (this year's main topic).

Here some excerpts (taken from UN official press release on 27 February);

First, let's start off with some weird stuffs・

Rachel n. Mayanja, UN's Special Adviser on Gender Issues and the Advancement of Women "The Commission should also review women's access to information and communication technology, as the gender digital divide remained wide.・

INSTRAW (note: UN institution that study gender issues)- INSTRAW's groundbreaking research on the gender dimensions of migration and remittances had revealed that, when women migrated as the main economic providers for their households, the money sent home was used to keep their daughters in school, including in university.

Indranee Seebun, Minister of Women's Rights, Child Development, Family Welfare and Consumer Protection of Mauritius, said "An empowerment fund" had been included in the 2006-2007 budget to promote entrepreneurship among vulnerable groups".

Then the triumphant...

Trevor Prescod, Minister of Social Transformation of Barbados, said that "currently, about 16 per cent of those graduating from the secondary level pursued tertiary level education and, of those 16 per cent, 70 per cent were girls."

Jang Hajin, Minister for Gender Equality and Family, Republic of Korea, "High school enrolment rates were higher for girls"

This is for girl only, no boy need apply...

Alima Mahama, Minister of Women and Children's Affairs of Ghana, said "Measures were also being taken ... to increase their (girls) enrolment in schools -- by providing bicycles to girls in rural areas..."

Traditional legal principle doesn't matter...

Maina Kamanda, Minister for Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services of Kenya, said "The Criminal Amendment Act of 2003, removed the burden of corroboration as a requirement to prosecute and prove a sexual offence."

Now let's see what happened when a country is governed by gender-feminist...

First Liberia,

Annie Jones-Demen, Deputy Minister for Gender and Development of Liberia, said "To encourage higher enrolment of girls in schools, the Government had ....begun providing hot meals and food rations to female students. "(boys?)

While feeling ecstatic about the election of a women President (itself the biggest achievement for gender feminists), the gender bureaucrats inadvertently spilled the top secret when she said, "the Ministry for Gender and Development and its partners had played a pivotal role in the 2005 general and presidential elections. (hello~?, you are supposed to at least maintain the pretense of fairness, however farce it is, and even though many people know that the government, UN and NGOs conspired to let the woman win, since she is a woman)

Then Chile,

Andrea Reyes (Chile) "All women were guaranteed a pension, including women who had been employed sporadically, in precarious situations or who had not been paid."(-Uhh, how about men?)

Ultimate entitlement...

Rocio Garcia Gaytan (Mexico) referred to President's "commitment to end discrimination and violence through the federal "Women's Access to a Life Free of Violence" law. (How about a new law titled "Men's Access to Life Full of Fun"? - if only government can guarantee that!)

And of course, all gender feminists' all time favorite - gender quota

Greece "..set quotas mandating that women comprised one third of people on local election lists and collective bodies of all Government agencies." (gender feminists' inadvertent admission of defeatism or reaffirmation of men's superiority - they admit that there is no way that women could get elected to public office if they were subjected to such "discriminatory system" of election/selection based on merits)

Armenia - "The new Electoral Code had raised the quota of women in political parties from 5 to 15 per cent. Ten per cent of all candidates on political party lists must be women." But she continued "...still, few women had reached high-level political posts. Only one woman held a cabinet position." (What a loser!!! You get quota for yourselves and still you can't cut it - I'm sorry, but it seems that nothing could help some women's utter lack of competencies - although gender feminists will no doubt blame deep-rooted patriarchy that even transcends gender quota.)

Others...
Ana Paula Sacramento, Vice-Minister for Family and the Promotion of Women, Angola, said that "Enrolment rates of girls and boys were not equal, and it was estimated that, of the 65 per cent of illiterate citizens, half were women." (It's not equal unless majority of illiterate are men)
