After 10 years, SIFF is again conducting a real Men’s Rights Meet. Its on 21-23rd, Feb, 2020.
A lot of things happened in these 10 years. SIFF runs Men’s Community Centers now. CrPC 41a came. IrBM law was rolled back. Misuse clause was added to Sexual Harassment at Workplace Law. Draconian rape laws were made and they were condemned by everybody after a few years. Rape Law Misuse is a popular meme today. Monthly maintenance or alimony amounts increased from Rs.5000 to Rs.15000. Trump got elected and he said, “its scary time for young men.” Minister Ravishankar Prasad did not do any legal reforms. Unlike his predecessors, he did not even promise it. UK Parliament started debating Men’s Issues on 19th of November, every year. #MeToo happened and #MenToo followed soon. MPs called for Men’s Commission. May be in response, Supreme Court of India called for tougher and stricter guidelines on life time alimony to women.
Hundreds of serious Men’s Activists worked hard to bring these changes.
The names of the speakers at this event will be announced by end of January. There will also be interactive panel discussions on important topics. There will also be a press conference and media interaction sessions.
One of the main intentions of this meet is to create campaigns to burst the alimony extortion bubble created by Govt, media and Courts as soon as possible. Maintenance laws under CrPC 125, DV Act and Sec 24 etc, create financial liability running into crores of rupees for young men. Govt is increasing maintenance amounts along with inflation and men have to pay monthly alimony to separated wife for whole life (40-50 years) unless she gets a job or gets remarried. One will end up paying in crores of rupees. If a man is unable to pay due to ill health or disability, he will be thrown in prison. Today for a professional man, getting married is as much liability as taking a loan of 1.5 to 2 crore rupees.(1 crore = 10 million)
Topics in National Conference:
- How to expose huge alimony extortion by Govt (and courts) after telling us, “woman is a burden”
- Public Interest Litigation approach by SIFF at Supreme Court of India to change anti-male laws.
- How to spread SIFF support network in many more cities across India and conducting workshops in all these places.
- Getting man’s human right to have access to his children and his parenting rights.
- How to lead a movement in your city/state? How to create mentoring process to get new activists coached?
- How Govt violates rights of Non-Resident Indian (NRI) men and what needs to be done.
- Panel Discussion: How to generate funds and sponsorships for Men’s Rights Movement?
- Panel Discussion: How to build activism in a new city or state?
- Panel Discussion: How to support male victims to reemployed? How to help male victims rebuild their careers?

Real results follow with right strategy and full focus to create a breach in defenses of anti-male forces.
