UN 2010 "boys enjoy less legal protection than girls from sexual abuse and exploitation and less access to services for victims..."

And, although research shows that boys face almost the same degree of sexual abuse and exploitation as girls, programming throughout the region is overwhelmingly directed at girls and women.

Ever met a child soldier? I have. I cannot describe how saddening it is to look into the blank eyes of a 10 year-old boy, and know that his soul has been destroyed and will be forever fucked up beyond repair.

The UN has, throughout its existence, turned a blind eye to issues affecting men and boys. UNAIDS and WHO have in fact been actively conducting and promoting circumcision campaigns in vulnerable populations. Fuck them.

Like the UN is an angel in all this, they sponsor only girl programs and have never sponsored programs and charities that helps boys.

because men are expected to shrug off emotional problems and "man up" because of their gender, whats worse is that society thinks you're less of a man if you don't or can't do that.

Sexism.

We're the disposable sex. However, we're also the sex that knows how to form efficient group structures. The attack on us can't continue forever; we stand up for ourselves.

A very significant report in that it is at odds with usual UN thinking. Nice find.

JockeVXO · 2012-12-19T20:14:26+00:00

So is the UN going to abandon its sexist approach in dispensing aid and go egalitarian? Or are they just going to ignore this female privilege as they do all others and keep their feminist stance?

ThePigman · 2012-12-19T22:06:52+00:00

A drop in the bucket given how rabidly anti-male the UN is -- it's like fucking NOW, but with international reach. Hell, it's probably worse than NOW...

One year ago, this group petitioned the US State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons take action against trafficked boys and men on fishing vessels in New Zealand aboard ships flagged in South Korea.

If you look at the 2012 report under New Zealand (pdf), you can see the fishermen were covered in detail. Some were given visas to stay in N.Z.

The report is in diplo-speak, but the New Zealanders got the message with their National paper reporting "NZ slammed in US 'slavery' report ".

We were hardly the only voices, but this is an example of how we can help boys, men, and their families by raising awareness.

Enjoy? ...

Well, what we should do is throw more money at projects for women and girls. That should solve that problem.

UNICEF? I think you mean NAMBLA.
