Equality watchdog gets complaint over its own anti-violence campaign

The complaint was lodged by an NGO, the National Justice and Defence Union, which says the campaign discriminates against men, the Lietuvos Žinios daily reports.

“This campaign is an instance of feminist propaganda encouraged and supported by EU institutions,” its board member Tomas Markevičius said.

In his words, the visual material makes an impression that only men are domestic abusers and women are only victims.
