A leader in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has declared that the breakdown of traditional families, far from being a “crisis,” is actually a triumph for human rights.
Speaking at a colloquium held last month at Colegio Mexico in Mexico City, UNFPA representative Arie Hoekman denounced the idea that high rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births represent a social crisis, claiming that they represent instead the triumph of “human rights” against “patriarchy.”
"In the eyes of conservative forces, these changes mean that the family is in crisis," he said. "In crisis? More than a crisis, we are in the presence of a weakening of the patriarchal structure, as a result of the disappearance of the economic base that sustains it and because of the rise of new values centered in the recognition of fundamental human rights."
"Day after day, Mexico experiences a process of this diversity and there are those who understand it as a crisis, because they only recognize one type of family," one of the speakers on the panel also told the audience.
The comments followed close on the heels of the World Meeting of Families, which was held in Mexico City in January, and which strongly reaffirmed the importance of the traditional family and its indispensible role in transmitting values to the next generation. It was opened by Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who observed that high rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births were contributing to the rise of violence and crime in Mexico.
Leonardo Casco, a member of the Pontifical Council for the Family and a citizen of Honduras, told LifeSiteNews that he wasn't surprised that the UNFPA was denying the crisis in the family.
"They definitely have to deny that there is a crisis in the family, because they have created the crisis," he said.

More proof that U.N. freeloaders do not think the same way normal people do.
Likely another bitter European faggot railing against ‘the family’ and ‘the patriarchy’, because they are so ‘judgemental’.
Only EVIL could come up with cockamamie convoluted crud like this.
They should castrate people like him before they get loose.
We have arrived in the new world - where right is wrong, and wrong is right.
Unreal. Another reason to hate them. UN = United Numbskulls.
What a pathetic excuse for a human being this “man” is. We need more chlorine in the gene pool.

I think you nailed it. He’s still in a huff at ‘mater’ and ‘pater’.
It’s almost like the UN intentionally wants the world to turn to crap.
Satan thinks he rules.
Let’s not be so fast to condemn here. If we can break the patriarchy in Islam that would be a HUGE step forward.
There's no better word than evil to describe this. Perhaps madness, but evil it most definitely is.
