“ Well said Mark Hanson. Ratifyng Cedaw and more legislation are not the answer Ofa Likiliki. The solution is addressing both men and women through education and counselling based on thier individual cases. So essentially what you need are resources to deal with social, mental and moral issues. CEDAW is a political misconception that your organisation does not need. Instaed educate men and women to value and respect themselves, not educating them on the CLAWS of CEDAW. Ko e fakatata mahino ki ho'o lau Mark Hanson ko e Minisitaa koena na'e 'alu ke ratify e CEDAW, teke mo malanga'i e CEDAW, ko e haa e me'a ne hoko? He fell on his own sword, be very carefull Ofa Likiliki. Ko Tonga ia ne tuku ki langi, ne ikai tuku ia ki he UN ke ne fakasotoma'i. Ko Tupou 1 ia na'e liliu ki he tui fakakalisitiane pea ko e uho ia 'etau konisitunone. Na'e 'ikai hano fuhinga mata'itohi 'ona but he was guided by a higher power pea na'e malu ai 'a e fonua. Tonga do not need to conform with CEDAW, we are way better in so many ways to the rest of the world.
Ko hono fakakatoa tuku e ako'i e CEDAW ki he kakai ka e ako'i e hisitolia 'o Tonga ke 'ilo 'e he kakai e ngaahi ngaue lava me'a 'a e kakai lelei 'o Tonga. Pea tanaki atu ki ai mo ha ki'i polokalama bible studies he 'oku tu'u kotoa pe ai e ngaahi faito'o ki he ngaahi palopolema 'o e fefine mo e tangata. ”
