I made a submission about men's human rights to the UN iainmf July 5, 2018 139 upvotes /r/MensRights See a copy here: https://genderbalancing.wordpress.com/2018/07/03/submission-for-new-zealands-universal-periodic-review-of-human-rights/ Executive summary New Zealand has committed to full equality between women and men. However, there are several areas where men are disadvantaged and men’s human rights are not being protected. Fundamental human rights violations exist for men in New Zealand. Men lack de jure equality before the law. Men also face de facto inequalities compared to women. Men are disadvantaged by substantive differences in the justice system, education, health, support for victims of violence, and in family issues. Exacerbating these problems are systemic issues preventing New Zealand from addressing these human rights issues. Formal mechanisms to ensure gender equality overwhelmingly concentrate on women’s inequalities. This is underpinned by societal attitudes that see gender equality as a women’s issue. Recommendation: New Zealand must take gender equality more seriously by having a formal mechanism to ensure both women’s and men’s inequalities are addressed.
