AURANGABAD: Two-wheeler rally and awareness seminar are some of the major events that have been organised by the local unit of men's right organisation Purush Hakka Sanrakshan Samiti (PHSS) to observe International Men's Day, on November 19.

Expressing concerns over the alleged misuse of the anti-dowry law, domestic violence Act, CrPC section on maintenance and other women-related laws against men, organisers said the occasion of International Men's Day would be used to spread awareness about men's right.

"Men, who find themselves at the receiving end due to atrocities of their wives and in-laws, often do not find any apt platform to share injustice being meted out to them. The PHSS events will serve much-needed platform for affected men to vent out their expressions and also get proper guidance," organiser said.

The two-wheeler rally will begin from Kranti Chowk at 11 am and scheduled to conclude at Mill Corner after garlanding the statue of social reformer Shahu Maharaj. Followed by the rally, a seminar will be held at the lawn of history musuem of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University.

“Working To Expand Reproductive Options for Men” has been one of the themes of this year’s International Men’s Day, which is designed to encourage cooperation in addressing reproductive issues that affect men and boys around the world such as family planning, men’s limited number reproductive choices, sexual health, and safe sexual practices, the organisers said.
