Men’s rights group met with criticism at city hall

'On Sept. 17, the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) hosted their first national conference at the Ottawa city hall, where they were met with opposition from the Revolutionary Student Movement (RSM).

CAFE is a non-profit group that seeks to promote awareness of issues affecting the status, health, and general well-being of men and boys. CAFE believes that these issues have been overlooked due to a bigger emphasis being put on female equality and women’s rights, leading to an indifference towards the unique problems that affect men.

Some of the issues discussed at the conference were high suicide rates among men, domestic violence, work-related deaths, and what they believed to be discriminatory treatment against fathers in the family court system.

“For the past two years we have been providing support to men and their families through legal aid, peer support, counselling, and through the first ever abuse program for male domestic violence victims,” said CAFE CEO Justin Trottier.'
