“ Let's take violence against women as an example. None of those women advocate of CEDAW has explicitly stated how CEDAW is going to stop the violence (eg. man beating wife etc.). Is CEDAW going to take the form of a policeman or robot or ninja, and be in every house to make sure that violence doesn't happen? or is it going to be another piece of paper sitting in a Minister's or lawyer's office collecting dust while people continue to beat one another? While CEDAW brings a whole lot of unwanted "rights" with it, there is no guarantee that the violence will stop. People break the law all the time, and what makes 'Ofa Likiliki & co. think that CEDAW will make any difference?? I can see in my crystal ball a man lifting his hand to slap his woman, and the woman shouts "stop, CEDAW is here" ...... I'm sure the man will be so scared of CEDAW that he runs and hides under the bed !!!!!!!! ......... the moral of the story is: just because CEDAW has some attractive, fancy and fashionable words like "elimination" , "discrimination" etc. etc. does not mean that people will automatically obey it. It may bring funds to organisations like WCCC but it cannot stop people from being violent. ”
