Male protest

Saturday, November 21, 2009

HUNDREDS of men in south India joined forces to mark World Men’s Day, voicing their protest against "biased" laws favouring women.

Men in Chennai demanded that the government set up a national men’s commission to protect them from false complaints under the anti-dowry law.

They assembled in front of Memorial Hall in Chennai, most claiming to have been harassed by women, particularly their wives.
