SUPPORT NEEDED: Members of WAND at a network conference
FUNDS are needed to help a Dorset network improve emotional health and wellbeing for women.
Women’s Action Network Dorset (WAND) is focusses on ending violence against women.
They arrange awareness raising events, offer training and information opportunities for organisations that work with women and provide vulnerable women a safe supportive environment in which to seek help.
Susan Bickle, of WAND, said: “We try to end social isolation through a range of female friendly activates suitable for all ages and backgrounds.”
The Do It for Dorset campaign is a joint initiative between the Dorset Echo and the Dorset Community Foundation – a registered charity dedicated to promoting charitable giving and grant making for charities and community groups across the county.
The foundation works with secret millionaires, family businesses and companies who want to give back to their community.
Do It for Dorset aims to raise awareness and funds for charities signed up to localgiving.com The women’s network aims to encourage women to make new friendships by getting together for activities and social events, campaign for women’s rights and support women by drawing on collective experiences.
Ms Bickle added: “We have three main aims – social, serious and supportive. Through this we aim to improve emotional health and wellbeing for women across Dorset, especially focussed on ending violence against women.”
Funds raised will go towards achieving improved health and wellbeing in women and reducing domestic violence.

Where is the compensation and support for the well being of the eleven male victims of this filth? What about the thousands of others victims of women's false accusations that happen every day? Anonymity for the accused until proven guilty and a mandatory 10 years for false accusers, first time..not eleventh!
Of course the judges will make sure it is seen too right?

The law must be changed and server punishment for such women. They are a menace to men and to society. Alas groups such as these above have created this phenomena.

and this one:
" Erin founded the first domestic violence refuge and was one of the few to speak out and resist when the turn of the Century movement for gender equality was hijacked by gender fascists and turned into an ongoing political pogrom of fathers and men by so-called ‘radical’ feminists, who today represent the mainstream "

How many homeless men compared to women in the area Mrs Rennie? The officials seem kind of resistant to openly list it based on the gender?
Dorset Supporting People Strategy 2013, mentions in their "homeless equality strategy" about gays,ethnics and women (with the ubiquitous abuse industry propaganda thrown in)..... Now as for Men...oh there appears to be no information or provision listed separately for Men at all? Well If one extrapolates from the National statistics, the figures are obvious, Men greatly outnumber women in homelessness.
An article on this and the gender bias towards men by council's housing workers, resources assignment, highlights another issue: http://therightsofma

How about how many male suicides compared to female in the last few years Mrs Rennie? What about the well being of Men and boys? You and your group certainly don't give a **** about them it seems, even when the figures of how many more men are in need are utterly shocking !
- In 2010 there was 5,608 suicides in total of which 4,231 were MEN (O.N.S figures)
Notice the massive difference? Ironically the funding for women in all areas of need, including this, is the total opposite of these figures. Why?
Even in the latest indifference towards men by Dorset community action in their suicide prevention papers states "23 suicides in Dorset". Well apart from this being even higher lately due to a few more MEN committing suicide locally, notice how they use the term, "23 suicides" but fail to quote how many men or women there are?
This is a deliberate and common slight of hand used to mislead statistics Vs funding debate. It's funny how they want to be so "gender neutral" in this hand, but utterly discriminating when it comes to the money and resources, eh? Why is that?
More and more the gender based statistical information is deliberately being "gender neutralised" in order to help this funding deception. While funding and resources dispersal and assignments are clearly behind made more gender bias too favour women, even in areas where male needs massively outweighs them Why?
Why was no official male needs/support groups like Mankind ever invited to the big meetings at county hall by These women or any meeting by incredibly biast Council for that matter? Can you guess why they are never invited, doesn't take a lot to work it out ,does it?
"Read all about it."
For every £3500 spent on women, only £1 is spent on men, yet accorind to official figures over 40% of victims are Men ! WHY?

P.S. Now Ponder if you all will, on the reaction to these articles if the word "Women" was replaced with the word "Ayrian". Then ask yourself why you would react negatively if that word was used, when the kind of politics and bigotry behind it, are exactly the same? Would the Echo still be so eager to publish this propaganda then? They should already be ashamed of themselves for their blatant bigoted reporting.
