DAVIA – Turning the Tide of Androphobic Propaganda
The tide of radical activist-pushed woke has turned, and DAVIA is leading the charge
DAVIA is the Domestic Abuse and Violence International Alliance, and works with several equal rights organisations around the world to bring objective reality to politicised institutional pronouncements on the subject of media bias in the reporting of DV statistics. It has been instrumental in bringing together disparate multinational actors, united in the pronounced feeling that something is very wrong.
DAVIA has recently been joined by articles in The Telegraph and The Spectator, those publications noting a sharp rise in reports of convictions of false allegations - including coercive control from people working in justice reform to the case of Eleanor Williams, jailed for 8 ½ years for falsely accusing six men of rape. UK Member of Parliament Ben Bradley has been particularly vocal in the House of Commons regarding the treatment of men and boys in the media.
Post-feminist writers and academics Janice Fiamengo, Bettina Arndt and Elizabeth Hobson are probably the most impactful voices on this most emotionally volatile of subjects, regularly pinpointing the messaging shade and mendacity innate in what has become a heavily subsidised industry. At the beginning of 2023, research carried out by the Nuffield Foundation in the UK has revealed that despite the long-promulgated radical activist message that convictions for alleged rape were decreasing to the point of that now-historical crime being essentially 'decriminalised', convictions have actually being increasing for the last fifteen years. This essentially destroys their long-pushed 'rape myth argument.
Following the Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp trial, the mainstream was further alerted to the intuitive reality that the transatlantic 'believe the victim' policy – long weaponised by Joe Biden, Keir Starmer and Alison Saunders - was biased against men in direct contravention of immutable characteristics in the 2010 UK Equality Act. Since the end of global pandemic lockdowns, India has been reporting a staggering rise in false allegations against men of all kinds - highlighted in the recent DAVIA research - with the MyNation community alliance aggrieved beyond words with the perceived overreaction in the world's biggest democracy.
The Istanbul Convention essentially made domestic violence a purely man-on-woman issue, in contravention of all levels of statistical and intuitive reality. Since its attempted ratification at the beginning of the 2010s, the convention has slowly seen a withdrawal of countries not ideologically in thrall to the globalist woke agenda. The Depp/Heard trial showed the world that domestic violence has no gender (however much the Scottish National Party apparently wants to get rid of all gender differences) yet still the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) movement enjoys exclusive state-sanctioned propaganda rights.
With that famous trial - plus controversies like male athletes competing in women's sports and the closure of the Tavistock clinic in London (where thousands of transitioned youngsters and their families are lined up to sue) - the tide of radical activist-pushed woke has turned, and DAVIA is leading the charge.
