New Delhi : It is strange but true. Men may get an opportunity from the Women and Child Development ministry to voice their concerns.
The government has decided to amend the Domestic Violence Act and incorporate certain changes in it to ensure that it is not misused.
Besides, the Women and Child Development Ministry would also organise a conference to incorporate men’s perspectives in the Act to give it a holistic view. The proposal is in the process of finalisation, sources said.
To factor in concerns of people across different economic profiles, the government would invite CEOs of renowned companies, middle-level officials from government and private offices and also employees serving at lower positions to give their views, sources said.
College students would also be given an opportunity to voice their opinion on the provisions of the act in the conference, they said.
“The Minister was interested and wanted all along to incorporate the views of men who have been at the receiving end due to legal barriers. The conference will provide them a platform to talk about their experience. This would certainly help us to understand the other side of the story,” highly placed sources in the ministry said.
