Imphal, January 14 2021:
Youth Forum for Protection of Human Rights (YFPHR) has appealed the Manipur State Commission for Women (MSCW) to extend the date of hearing on the 'Draft on Gender Policy and Budgeting' which is scheduled to be held on January 16 .
The forum appreciates the MSCW for developing the draft and calling for suggestions/objections and views from NGOs, CSOs, individuals and intellectuals working in the field, said a statement issued by YFPHR today.
YFPHR said that the public was informed that copy of the draft will be available on the official website of the commission in a publication in The Sangai Express on
January 11 .
However the website remained down until today which makes the time available to the forum and many others to analyse the draft not enough, added the statement.
The forum requested the Manipur State Commission for Women MSCW to give a minimum of 10 days in order to have ample time to analyse the draft, added the statement.
