New UN Women Reports Reject Science, Logic, and the Truth

June 5, 2025 – For decades, feminists have controlled the social narrative on a variety of issues such as “gender equality,” “domestic violence,” “digital abuse,” and others. In recent years, however, scientific research has begun to challenge these perspectives. But instead of proactively engaging in these developments, feminists have attempted to stifle the debate and denigrate any person who proffered the new perspective.

Such attempts to control the debate are evident in two reports issued last month by UN Women:

“What is the manosphere and why should we care?” (1)
“How to counter the manosphere’s toxic influence” (2)

It’s no secret that men are now lagging behind women in 12 major areas such as health status, education, shared parenting, worksite deaths, homelessness, and more (3). Accordingly, the public has reached the conclusion that programs intending to achieve “gender equality” must address the concerns and challenges faced by men.

But UN Women rejects this common-sense notion of gender equality, actually chastising groups that may “misrepresent men as ‘victims’ of the current social and political climate.” UN Women goes even further, advancing the shibboleth that the claim that feminism has “come at the cost of men’s rights” is a “false narrative.”

A prime example of this problem is the area of domestic violence. On April 21, persons throughout India were shocked by news that Om Prakash had been stabbed to death, with his wife confessing to the murder. Ironically, the man was the former Director General of Police in the state of Karnataka (4).

Similar accounts appear regularly in newspapers around the world. But UN Women chose to ignore these grisly incidents, as well as the extensive body of research that shows women are equally likely to be abuse perpetrators (5).

Instead, the UN Women reports invoke the phrase, eight times: “violence against women and girls,” creating a mantra that discourages thoughtful analysis or debate. This one-sided view has resulted in many countries enacting legislation that only acknowledges female abuse victims, thereby depriving male victims of desperately needed protection and help.

A similar picture emerges in the area of online abuse. According to a 2021 Pew Research study, American men are more likely than women to experience online harassment: 43% of men vs. 38% for women (6). But once again, UN Women refused to cite this survey, sidestepping the problem of online abuse of men.

The two UN Women reports are replete with logical contradictions. In one place UN Women denounces the use of “sexist rhetoric” on social media. Then they turn around and resort to using the sexist – some would say, hateful — epithet, “toxic masculinity.”

The second report concludes with an inspiring call for the digital world to become “safer and more equal – for everyone.” But the reports fail to mention the fact that men fall prey to domestic violence just as often as women.

These short-sighted attempts at information control increasingly are being challenged. Around the world, feminist ideology is being sharply criticized by women (7).

In Spain, for example, a group called Grandmothers Silenced by Feminism has become increasingly critical of feminist-driven domestic abuse policies that discriminate against men. As a result, these grandmothers have become cut off from their own grandchildren. Earlier this week, the group met with the Spanish Minister of Equality to reveal the ordeal they have endured (8).

As female opposition to feminist ideology expands around the world, UN Women likely will find it more difficult to vilify and silence the plaintive voices of their female compatriots.

The Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance – DAVIA — consists of 189 member organizations from 39 countries in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. DAVIA seeks to ensure that domestic violence and abuse polices are science-based, family-affirming, and gender-inclusive. https://endtodv.org/davia/
