About us and what we do at Men's Rights Agency (MRA)
How many children in Australia will not know their father and in some
cases not even recognize him? A million children currently live in
single parent families or with only one of their natural parents.
Separation and divorce does affect children dramatically, as many
studies have recently shown - causing low self esteem, lower school
grades, trouble with police, drugs, early pregnancies and problems with
their own relationships later in life.
Men have supported the very just goal of equality for both sexes only
to find the tables turning on them as extremists push for feminist
advancement ahead of all other considerations.
MRA is attempting to "level the playing field" so all Australians can
be treated equally, with respect, consideration and compassion, whilst
acknowledging their own responsibilities.
MRA has created a National network of dedicated professionals -
solicitors, barristers, counsellors, psychologists, accountants,
financial advisers and other consultants, who have a special
understanding of the issues from a man's/father's point of view.
Using MRA's services provides access to these specialists with free
appointments and reduced ongoing fees.
Assistance is directly available from MRA with Child Support Agency
problems, emergency housing, employment, friendship and suicide
prevention.
Meetings with guest speakers, an online email list and printed
information keeps MRA people up to date with recent developments.
MRA strategies provide a better chance for a more equitable outcome,
especially for your children, who should be able to spend time with both
parents. Children need both a mum and a dad. Do not let yourself be shut
out of your children's lives. They depend on you!
Men’s Rights Agency Aims and Objectives
· To promote equal rights and a level playing field for all men. We
acknowledge the right of all women to equality, but over-reaction is
causing an imbalance leading to discrimination against men.
· To ensure all clients have prompt access to experienced solicitors
specializing in family law, criminal or civil matters, counsellors &
psychologists, accountants & financial advisers, and other consultants.
· To monitor the performance of all "professionals" by ensuring the
highest standard of service is available to provide for the best
possible outcome for our clients.
· To provide assistance with Child Support Agency matters.
· To provide assistance with emergency accommodation and employment
opportunities by encouraging MRA people to interact with and help each
other.
· To provide aid to victims of domestic violence and encourage
initiatives to reduce the incidence of domestic violence.
· To promote and generate discussion of the aims and objectives of MRA.
· To encourage state and federal governments to provide the same level
of assistance for men's issues, including health, (with particular
emphasis on reducing male suicide which occurs as a result of family
breakdown) as is now provided for women's issues.
· To provide input into all review processes of state and federal
legislation, in particular those areas affecting family relationship
breakdown.
· To protect children and their right to be raised in a secure loving
environment.
· To achieve an equal balance between men and women through acceptance
that both genders are different and have different needs, but are
complementary to each other.
