Press Release :Men Welfare Trust Celebrates The International Father’s Day 2019 with #SelfieWithDad

Men Welfare Trust Celebrates The International Father’s Day 2019 with #SelfieWithDad Campaign !

To organise celebration on Sunday, June 16, 2019 at India Gate, 5:00 pm onwards




Thursday, June 13, 2019; New Delhi: Men Welfare Trust (MWT), a registered NGOs under the aegis of Save Indian Family (SIF) movement, will celebrate The International Father’s Day 2019 with their campaign – #SelfieWithDad. 

As part of the celebration, Men Welfare Trust will organise several activities on Sunday, June 16, 2019 starting at 5:00 pm at the India Gate Lawns. These activities will involve engagement with families, painting competitions for children and several joint activities for children with their fathers, followed by Q&A. The event will conclude by a song dedicated to the spirit of fatherhood. Date: Sunday, June 16, 2019 Time: 5:00 pm onwards Venue: Near Amar Jawan Jyoti, India Gate Lawns.

Starting today, volunteers of Men Welfare Trust will also run the #SelfieWithDad Campaign on Twitter and Facebook where they will call people to post ‘Father and child’ selfies as a tribute to their fathers. The aim is to create awareness and bring to fore contributions and importance of fathers to their families and to the society, which are very often taken for granted. Father's Day is a celebration honouring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, enforcing paternal bonds, and highlighting the influence of fathers in society.

Speaking about the #SelfieWithDad Campaign, Mr Amit Lakhani, Founder President of Men Welfare Trust said, “I sometimes feel that as a society, we have failed to acknowledge the value of a father in a child’s life. Even those who understand this fail to express and tell our dads how much we love and care for them. Going further, through this initiative, we aim to spread awareness on shared parenting and child alienation which has today become a very serious social issue”. 

He added, “There has been a sea change in the society and specially the family system in India in the last couple of decades and the Divorce rates are ever rising. This has resulted in a lot of Fathers being deprived from seeing their own children and the society is moving towards a Father-less society like in the west. It is only in our interests that the government urgently recognise the pain of Fathers and make laws that are in line with the current and ongoing changes in the society”.

Studies show that children coming from broken fatherless families are more prone resorting to drugs, alcoholism and crime; and, cases where children at a very young age are running away from homes, getting into juvenile crimes, drugs and prostitution.

Recommendations to the government by Men Welfare Trust

• Shared parenting to be Law in India as it is in most parts of the world; and guidelines by the Mumbai High-court on shared parenting to be strictly followed by other family courts across India
• Formation of ‘National Commission for Men’ to look into the rights of Fathers and rising suicides by the alienating fathers in India
• Ministry of Women and Child Development to recognise the rights of children to have access to their fathers for a balanced upbringing. Alternatively, create a separate Ministry (Ministry of Children) for looking at specific issue related to child rights

History of Father’s Day :

Father’s Day is celebrated in majority countries of the world on the 3rd Sunday in the month of June. This day is to honour fathers and celebrate fatherhood, paternal bonds, and recognise contributions of fathers in society. Father’s Day was inaugurated as a civic celebration in The U.S., in the early 20th century to complement Mother's Day by celebrating fathers and male parenting. The first observance of a ‘Father's Day’ was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. In countries like The U.S., Father’s Day is a permanent national holiday since 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law.

PMO Mr. Narendra Modi forget #FathersDay?









It’s nice to see that our Misandric Prime Minister, Mr. NarendraModi doesn’t forget to wish all our Canadian Friends on the eve of #Canadaday,but the irony is the Indian PMO always forgets #Fathersday. 
 

We have not witnessed any wishes from him on #Fathersday, poor Indian Fathers!!


It’s not only the PMO , even most of the front line Electronic Media prefer to forget the same except few like NDTV who have shown some courage to re-telecast programs like #Housedad in India.

On a positive note we had observed in 2015 number of Brands who started recognized #Fathersdayand had used the Social media for various Promotional activity like #HugyourDad, #Luv2Dad even #SelfiwithDad also.

The selfless efforts and sacrifices a father does for their Child can’t be compensated by any means, but on Father Day, which is falls on the 3rd Sunday of June every year, and has been recognized all over world, more than 90% people in India are not even aware.




We have witnessed in countries like USA the outcome of a Fatherless child society,there are various studies highlighting this social degeneration:


 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools.).

Not only that probability of a Father less child subject to abuse, gone in depression, run away from home or even became a hardcore criminal increase by 8 to 10 time more.



Volunteers of Save Family Foundation understand the need of Public awareness, as the contribution of a Father in their child’s life is enormous, which none can buy with money, power or by thousand years of effort like hi-tech Digital India programs.

They prefer to spend the Weekend in the heart of Capital at Connaught Place, New Delhi on 21stof June and meet many child, men and women. They happily distribute Gifts, Chocolate,Ice cream to many privileged as well as underprivileged children of Delhi.

The street was roaring with voices like, “Happy Fathers day “, “East or West my Father is the best” and supported thousands of people, some of the moment captured by this beautiful Video made by Mr. Joy Ghosh worth to view than some Z-Grade #Misandric video in the name of like My choice .

SIF Delhi chapter celebrated Father's Day on 21st June 2015.




Witness many outlet in Connaught Place, New Delhi, hanging big banners for various promotional discounts offers , like 50% off on food/Drink, 30% off in cloth , 40% off in Golf kit to name a few.

We thank all of them who have recognized the fact that Fathers also deserve to be loved and gifted. Would also like to remind them about the upcoming #Mensday in 19th November, which we know our #Misandric PMO as well as prominent electronic media will conveniently forget.

At the end as we witness in the video, a young guy said, in your life your friends or Girlfriends can dump you, but your parents never do that and in the parents list a name called “Father” also exists.



On the other hand we witness many unfortunate fathers in the event unable to stop their tears and hug each others, as our cruel Family court Judges never allow the Fathers any easy access of their own child in the name of disputes in Family matters.

Even if some Judge allows some 1 or 2 hours monthly to visit their own child, it’s their cruel wives who repeatedly violate such order with impunity and the Hon Judges turn a blind eye on such violations of orders.




Time to realize, it’s not only a Father rights, it is a Child right to have access of their own fathers, so that every child also can Hug their dad and say Happy Father’s Day every 3rd Sunday in themonth of June.
History  :The most neglected day in the (male) calendar.

Father's Day started in the early 20th century in the United States to celebrate fatherhood and to complement Mother's Day. It was first celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA by Sonora Smart Dodd. She heard about Mother's Day in 1909 and told her pastor she thought fathers should have a similar holiday. Her father raised six children as a single parent. The local clergymen agreed to the idea and the first Father's Day sermon was given on June 19, 1910. 






With the time many people started to accept that fathers are also deserve to be remembered on the eve of #Fathersday , but it will be long Journey to get a #Misandric Free  Prime Minister  of India !
