India: Parliament Set to Debate National Commission for Men Bill: A Landmark Proposal

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Rajya Sabha on December 5, 2025, witnessed the introduction of a private member’s bill seeking to establish a National Commission for Men (NCM). The bill presented by MP Dr Ashok Kumar Mittal aims to create a statutory body that would address grievances and rights-based issues faced by men across India.

The proposed commission would examine existing laws and policies, investigate grievances filed by men, and recommend remedial measures. Proponents argue that just as there are dedicated mechanisms like a women’s commission for women’s issues, men too need a formal platform to ensure fair treatment, particularly in cases related to false accusations, misuse of gender-specific laws, and mental health distress.'
