PRESS RELEASE

Sub: NCFM, Bangalore celebrates International Men’s Day on 19th November 2010

About NCFM:

The National Coalition for Men (NCFM) is a nonprofit educational organization that raises awareness about the ways sex discrimination affects men and boys. Operating since 1977, NCFM is the oldest U.S. based men’s rights group. NCFM has recently launched its Bangalore chapter and is proud to announce the celebration of International Men’s Day on the 19th of November, 2010.

About International Men’s Day:

International Men's Day (IMD) was started by Dr. Jeremy Teelucksing, on November 19th 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago (West Indies) and was supported by the United Nations. The event received wide support from men's groups in USA, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Indian men’s rights activists celebrated the same for the first time in India on 19th November 2007. Since then, it has been celebrated every year thereafter.

Why International Men’s Day:

International Men’s Day was started and has been continued to be celebrated with 3 Key objectives in mind:

  1. 1. Promoting positive male role models.
  2. 2. Highlighting the contributions and sacrifices that men have been making for the past several millennia to improve living conditions.
  3. 3. Creating awareness about the issues men face and the sex discrimination against them.

This year, reportedly, 40 countries have joined the bandwagon for celebrating International Men’s Day on November 19, 2010. India, being one of them along with US, UK, Australia, Croatia, China, to name a few.

In India, men’s rights activists in various cities like Bangalore, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, etc. are celebrating IMD via various means.

National Coalition for Men, Bangalore in association with Acoustics For You – Sound Opinions, the branded customized car audio portal, is organizing a fun event at the Forum Value Mall, Whitefield with the theme – “Men are Emotional Beings”.

Save Indian Family Foundation, Nagpur is organizing a bike rally and will submit memorandum in the High Court about discrimination against men and fathers.

Hyderabad and Chennai are organizing mass gatherings and awareness sessions to highlight positive male role models and discriminations against men.

Hridaya in Kolkata is organizing a public rally to create awareness about IMD.

Through these events, men’s rights activists from various organizations fighting for men intend to sensitize the society about the vulnerable male who is more often than not deprived of his due right of the “Right to Peaceful Existence” with statements like “It’s a man’s world” and “Every day is a man’s day.”

While, as men take the most of responsibilities and undertake the most risky, dangerous and menial jobs, it may be a man’s day every day but every day is not celebrated. Celebration happens only on one day and that’s the International Men’s Day – November 19 2010.

Let’s celebrate the men in our lives for one day.

Thanks and Regards

India Liaison Officer National Coalition For Men, Bangalore

Sneak a Peek

Traffic Woes
All characters and incidents are real.
Finally the shit piece of code ran. Aah what a relief. All of us were so happy that we had not crossed our deadlines and now all we wanted is some relief. And no, we did not want to eat that pathetic food provided in the name of dinner in office. So pop came the idea from Yogesh, Let’s go somewhere for dinner. But every one of them had left, so I and Yogesh were left alone.
Me: But there is one more problem, I don’t feel like driving my beast in this chilly Chandigarh Winter.
Yogesh: No problem buddy, we will go in my car, will drop you home and pick you up tomorrow morning as well. You know it is on my way.
Me: Hmmm, sounds a nice idea. OK come on lets go.
Transformed into an Eskimo in the non-Arctic region stuffing myself under a pullover, a jacket on top of it, a muffler, hand gloves and went towards the parking area accompanied by Yogesh. Settled in the car and we roared off and just then Yogesh told me something, hearing which I went numb to my nerves. He had a night vision problem and finds it difficult to maneuver turns at night. My jaws dropped wide open, eyes burst out in bewilderment.
Me: It’s a good joke, man. It was just to relax the situation (actually myself) with this light statement and somber reaction.
Yogesh: Had it been a joke.?
Me: What!!! you can’t be serious with this dude.
