POPSPetition to the United Nations - In the Real Interests' of Children First world's governments' social policies actively support the disfranchisement of families and extended families and actively encourage the breakdown of communities. The First Rights Declaration was in 1789 which conferred the Rights of Man and Citizen. In 1948 the member states of the United Nations passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which recognised rights based on equal treatment for all. In a sharp u-turn gender based right was passed in 1979 (CEDAW), a development that gave special rights contrary to UDHR. The CRC was introduced in November 1989 giving children protection. Western Governments are adopting a sinister role in the destruction of families by setting targets and cash rewards based on the number of children that are taken from purported 'dysfunctional' families. Proof is not essential and officials do not have to give reasons for their actions.. READ MORE !!

POPSRape Is Not A Game Recommended Actions Please write to the Japanese government officials below, calling on them to comply with Japan’s obligations under CEDAW, including the recent strong exhortation of the CEDAW Committee to ban games and cartoons that normalize and promote sexual violence against women and girls. In your letter to the Minister of Justice ask her also to inquire about the requested investigation into the apparent gang rape video sent by Equality Now to the Tokyo police department, and ask that her office investigates this and other actual rape videos to ensure that all those involved are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Please also continue to write to Illusion Software asking it to withdraw immediately from sale all games which involve rape, stalking or other forms of sexual violence or which otherwise denigrate women.

POPSEgypt Approves Quota for Women in Parliament While many Eqyptian women praise the law as a step forward, others believe it is only a superficial attempt at empowering women or are suspicious of governmental motives. Nagla Mohammed, a homemaker, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur, "It is good that women should play a role in politics...But I can only judge the impact of their presence in parliament after I see their practical contribution. It is not a matter of having women in parliament - the question is what they will do."

POPSUN CEDAW appeal to Canada's Harper gov
The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), an expert body established in 1982, is composed of 23 experts on women's issues from around the world. The Committee's mandate is very specific: it watches over the progress for women made in those countries that are the States parties to the 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. A country becomes a State party by ratifying or acceding to the Convention and thereby accepting a legal obligation to counteract discrimination against women. The Committee monitors the implementation of national measures to fulfil this obligation. At each of its sessions, the Committee reviews national reports submitted by the States parties within one year of ratification or accession, and thereafter every four years. These reports, which cover national action taken to improve the situation of women, are presented to the Committee by Government representatives.
