NEW YORK, July 5 (C-Fam) Are divorce, cohabitation, same sex marriage, out of wedlock birth and adolescent sex good for women? The latest report from UN Women considers them “a positive reflection of women’s empowerment.” UN Women calls family life “an ambivalent space for women and girls.”
“Families can have a darker side: they can be places of violence and discrimination, spaces where women and girls are often denied the resources they need, where they sometimes eat least and last and where their voices are stifled and their autonomy is denied,” the report says, concluding, “As such, the recognition of families as an ambivalent space for women and girls has been at the heart of this Report.”
Along with darkness and ambivalence, the report is notable for its pragmatic approach to rights, in particular to polygamy. The report acknowledges that human rights law comes down against polygamy and that it is bad for women. Yet it defers to the African human rights document, the Maputo Protocol, which concludes that it is not “pragmatic” to try to change polygamy laws altogether.
This contrasts with the report’s approach to laws recognizing same sex marriage, which the report posits are good for women because they erode the patriarchal nature of the family.

PING!
U.N. out of the U.S.
U.S. out of the U.N.
“Dark”
Racist.
“Families can have a darker side: they can be places of violence and discrimination, spaces where women and girls are often denied the resources they need, where they sometimes eat least and last and where their voices are stifled and their autonomy is denied,”
Mostly in countries run by islam.

Don’t push. No one wants to go back who’s bigger.
Millennia of evolution couldn’t possibly be right. How did Humanity survive before the UN came into our lives? We’ve been doing it all wrong!
Pfft. We need for the UN to go the way of the League of Nations and go away or completely regroup.
Are divorce, cohabitation, out of wedlock birth and adolescent sex good for women.
Oh yea, all are demonstrably positive. They almost without exception reap decreased education level, poverty, drug addiction, increased suicide rates, dependence on the state, crime and depression in both parent AND offspring.
How could any of this not be “good for women”?
So much to say and so little space here. I can only say, what’s up with these people? The family has been the centerpiece of human civilization for thousands of years.
Which is not to say that there aren’t problems with some families. But what are they smoking to come to such conclusions?
Adolescent girls should be having sex? It’s actually a positive for them to have out of wedlock babies?
Homosexual marriage is good for women because it erodes the patriarchal nature of the family? So traditional marriage and family is bad, but homosexual marriage is good. okay........
When our adolescent daughters inevitably get pregnant from the encouraged activities which cause pregnancy, it is preferable for them to have out of wedlock babies. okay.........
And we are supposed to sit in shock and awe at this report from the United Nations; the UN giving its sanction and “prestige” to this nonsense is supposed to make us agree with this crap????
So, this is what Nikki Haley was working on while Amb to the UN, eh?
“The family has been the centerpiece of human civilization for thousands of years.”
This is aimed at the Western countries. The object is to destroy us.
“Families can have a darker side: they can be places of violence and discrimination, spaces where women and girls are often denied the resources they need, where they sometimes eat least and last and where their voices are stifled and their autonomy is denied,”

Why didn’t she just say Islam.
If the U.N. were honest they would say Isalm is bad for humanity.
The UN is run by barely functioning 50-IQ apes. If you need to disrupt or end a UN meeting, throw bananas at ‘em.
“UN Females” would be more appropriate.
*spit*
John Bolton disrupted them by simply starting meetings on time when he was at the UN.
CPT?
Shes obviously not seen what a “family” court does to a man.
Family court is the only place a man cannot commit any crime, but go to jail for not having a job. Its debtors prison.
UN Women ? LOL
