Aims
and Objectives
Domestic
Abuse
This is a social
issue and not a gender problem that affects men, women and children.
We are campaigning for a fair social approach to the problem, so that
all victims receive the help they need regardless of their sex, race
or sexual orientation.
Family Law
We provide
free information and advice to parents who are seeking to maintain a
meaningful and responsible relationship with their children after family
break down. We aim to assist parents in their endeavours to achieve
equal and just treatment in the Family Courts and from their associated
services. We recognize the value of fatherhood and support the concept
of equal parenting where parents work together for and in the best interests
of their children.
Sex
Discrimination
Discrimination erodes and violates a person’s dignity
and creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive
environment. The national statistics office shows that men receive longer
sentences than women for the same crime and men have to work for longer
than women before they recieve a pension. We aim for total equality.
Human
Rights
The human
rights act was not created so that criminals have a better life than
their victims. The Human Rights Act failed when a schoolboy arsonist
was allowed back into the classroom because enforcing discipline apparently
denied his right to education; a convicted rapist was given £4000
compensation because his second appeal was delayed; a burglar was given
taxpayers' money to sue the man whose house he broke into; travellers
who thumb their nose at the law allowed to stay on green belt sites
they have occupied in defiance of planning laws.
The human rights acts aim is to give further effect in UK law to the
rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. The Act
makes available in UK courts a remedy for breach of a Convention right,
without the need to go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg
making it cheaper, quicker and easier for the British people to argue
for their rights in the British courts. We support the correct use of
the human rights act
