GENEVA, May 12 (LSN) – A report released Friday by the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (CAFHRI) indicates many of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which collaborate with the United Nations hold views which most people would consider extremist and anti-family.  CAFHRI quoted several feminist speakers meeting in conjunction with the 54th Session of the UN Commission on Human Rights to illustrate the point. Valsa Verghese of Change International said that within the family, a “woman’s freedom and dignity is eroded on a daily basis.” Miriam Outara from Anti-Slavery International argued that “one of the greatest violations of women’s rights is religious domination of their lives.” Pura Sen of the London School of Economics claimed that “all cultures and all religions permit rape in marriage.” She also called for “a complete reconsideration of marriage,  because one of the legal justifications [for it] is to regulate sexual relations between men and women.”  The meeting concluded with a speech from Paulo David of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child,  who said the UN’s proposed International Criminal Court may be given the power to enforce adherence to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention, which is widely viewed as infringing on parental authority and the integrity of the family as the basic building block of society, says that children have “the absolute right to privacy, opinion, expression, and self-determination.”
