On Women and the Family
On Women and the Family
Resolution 1: We accept the sentiment expressed that women need to have a surer method of receiving economic support for the family, and that free legal aid, home counselling and government subsidy through child endowments be provided for women.
Resolution 2: That all parents make special effort to train and educate their children regarding their attitudes and responsibilities in the family.
Resolution 3: As domestic violence seems to be largely the result of excessive consumption of liquor, that a national educational programme be conducted in the use of alcohol through school curriculum and all levels of the mass media.
Resolution 4: That all present government policies and legislation be reviewed and future policies and legislation incorporate the strengths and responsibilities of the extended family system.
