10% of Irish boys schools do not have a sex education programme- it is dropped because
they want the boys to hit academic targets.
13% of our elected representatives are women- less than most of the EU.
The political parties do no select women from community and advocacy groups, but tend
to 'hot-house' women in male-dominated political organisations.
(our female representation is lower than areas in sub-sahara Africa).
The sex-education report indicates that some secondary schools are skewing the information to fit into
the religious ethos of the school. and not providing knowledge in an unbiased way.
The Criminal Law (sexual offences) bill 2006 Criminalises boys for early sexual activity
and girls have no guaranteed protection of their human rights to privacy and bodily integrity
under that Bill.
There is no right to therapeutic/medical abortion for girls/immigrant women and cancer
sufferers in this country.
The primacy of the family in the constitution creates and sustains gender discrimination.
Mainstreaming in education and the cuts to the travellers capitation grants programme
has starved the engineering sector and created needless suffering by advancing the ideology
of a knowledge- based economy thereby leading to discrimination of both sexes in econmic
and work terms.
No access to Free, Safe and Legal abortion has causd suffering to many Irish women.
Section 5 of the proposed referendum on protection does little other than reverse section 5
of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences )Bill 2006, and does not guarantee the rights of either
sex in the pre-consent age group.
The Government has refused to copperfasten the rights of the child to education, knowledge
and basic medical human rights by starving the state sector and advancing the private concerns
of big business. The State , represented by Brian Lenihan was asked to answer to this in Geneva,
it was largely ignored by the Irish media.
I have read through the articles of this document here:
http://www.yogyakartaprinciples.org/index.php?item=25
These are basic human rights. There is no need to discriminate between men, women, Muslim, Christian, Old, Young or Gay in these matters. We are all, as human beings, entitled to these rights. I don't think it is helpful for self-interest groups to demand human rights particularly for their own group but rather to assist in their delivery to all humans regardless of differences.
Of course all the signatories of this document are legal professionals. It is the legal and political structures who gain most by the division of society in separate specific interest groups who they can then play off against one another for a rather decent living.
I already support these human rights, as do most people and like most people, what somebody does in their bedroom doesn't concern me.
C Murray,
Any chance you could translate the paragraph beginning "Mainstreaming in education....." into English?
Just one example: WTF is "discrimination of BOTH sexes" (my capitals) I mean if both sexes are being discriminated against, just who is being treated favourably? The bisexual and transgendered?
