Support the National Commission for Men Bill: A Step Toward Gender-Neutral Justice
Problem
We, the citizens of India, write this petition to formally express our profound gratitude to Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal for his historic and courageous initiative in introducing the National Commission for Men Bill. For decades, the legal and institutional framework surrounding gender justice has left a critical gap. While robust systems exist to protect women, male victims of domestic abuse, false accusations, parental alienation, and deep psychological trauma have frequently found themselves without a dedicated statutory body to turn to. The tragic realities of cases like Pune's Ketan Agarwal case serve as a painful reminder that "pain knows no gender" and that men deserve institutional safeguards. Why This Bill is Vital for India: • Institutional Grievance Redressal: It proposes an independent statutory body to investigate violations of men's rights and address deep-seated grievances. • Mental Health & Support Systems: It establishes structured psychological counselin, legal aid, & rehabilitation programs to curb rising male suicide rates. • Protection Against Legal Misuse: It introduces vital safeguards & strict penalties against the documented misuse of specific criminal provisions. • True Gender Equality: This Bill does not dilute, alter, or diminish any existing legal protections or rights available to women. Instead, it strengthens the constitutional promise of equality before the law under Article 14 True justice cannot be one-sided. We urge all Members of Parliament, across party lines, to recognize the intense public need for this legislation. We request you to actively participate in upcoming parliamentary sessions to debate, scrutinize, and ultimately enact the National Commission for Men Bill into law. Thank you, Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, for amplifying a voice that has been silent for too long. We stand with you. Sign & support the National Commission for Men Bill & stand with male victims seeking institutional protection & justice.
Proposed Solution
Because the National Commission for Men Bill was introduced by MP Ashok Kumar Mittal as a Private Member's Bill, it faces rigorous parliamentary procedures. It must undergo the following steps before becoming law: • Discussion & Debate: The Bill awaits formal discussion in the Rajya Sabha. The MP will explain its principles, and other members will debate its merits. • Voting: Following the debate, the House will either accept or reject the Bill by a vote. • Passage in Both Houses: If passed by the Rajya Sabha, it must then be introduced and passed by the Lok Sabha. • Presidential Assent: After passing both houses, the Bill requires the assent of the President of India to become an Act. Private Member's Bills rarely become law directly, but the government can choose to adopt the policy, introduce a similar official government bill, or refer the proposal to a Parliamentary Standing Committee for further review. राज्यसभा सांसद अशोक कुमार मित्तल ने घरेलू दुर्व्यवहार और झूठे मामलों के शिकार पुरुषों के लिए नेशनल कमीशन फॉर मेन बिल (National Commission for Men Bill) पेश किया है。इसका उद्देश्य पुरुष पीड़ितों को कानूनी सहायता, संस्थागत समर्थन और परामर्श प्रदान करना है, "कृपया इस याचिका पर अभी हस्ताक्षर करें।" We request all Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs please don't ignore mass man voice this time and pass this bill with no objection.
