The Freedom of Information Act combined with the Gender Equality Duty has opened the door for campaigners in their fight against male discrimination by the state.
The Men's Aid web-site has an excellent forum where campaigners publish their Freedom of Information requests and then publish their answers (link). The most interesting ones are:-
- A request to the BBC as to why they have no men's hour whilst they have a women's hour, especially as the Gender Equality Duty is in place;
- A request to the Equal Opportuinites Commission asking why they still ignore statistics on male domestic violence victims.
Whern the answers provide fruitful information, links will be placed on the site.
