Barbadian men are enduring hardship at the hands of women this is the view of chairman of the Men's Support Educational Association (MESA) Ralph Boyce.
Speaking at a workshop hosted by the National Committee for Prevention of Alcohlism and Drug Dependency Boyce charged that women are denying men the right to see their children when being by ordered to do so by the courts. He also stated women are setting up the fathers of their children to be beaten by other men.
"Enough is not being said about the responsibility of women or the fact the courts are still skewed, the Maintenance Act says only a single woman can go to the lower courts for maintenance .And it said that in exactly those word", Boyce said.
"A man can go to prison for not supporting a child and when he comes out he still has to pay maintenance although he has not been working. So there are many hardships that men are suffering at the hands of women", Boyce said.
