Men's rights movement in India

Demonstrations by the Save Indian Family Foundation about Domestic violence against men.

The men's rights movement in India is composed of various independent men's rights organisations in India. Proponents of the movement support the introduction of gender-neutral legislation and repeal of laws that are biased against men.[1]

Indian men's rights activists are organised around legal issues such as anti-dowry laws, divorce, and child custody, which they believe are biased against men.[2] They also assert that the frequency of domestic violence against men has increased over time with many cases going unreported as men are shamed into not reporting abuse or fear false accusations against them in reprisal. Some men's rights activists also consider India's rape reporting laws and sexual harassment laws in India to be biased against men.
