“ This woman is a disgrace to the Tongan heritage and taufatungamotu'a. She thinks we can't read and make our own interpretations. We all know that promoting global conventions and ratifying UN conventions are her bread and butter. But she tends to undermine our intelligence and intellectual capability. We also know that in project oriented employment, where donors fully funds everything, there are KPIs and milestones recipients of funds have to meet before any funds are released. That is why this woman tries to shove this CEDAW and human rights agenda down our throats. There is nothing in the CEDAW that is not addressed already by our own laws. Authorities only have to enforce them. We don't need another piece of legislation via a foreign convention to tell us what is good and what is bad.
And who cares about those other states who "expressed concerns that Tonga had not ratified key agreements etc..." Those states are represented by ungodly atheists and homosexuals in the UN, and they are trying to force Tonga to accept their ungodly and sadistic ideologies. And this selfish woman and others like her swallow those ideologies hook, line and sinker!!!
Leave our dear nation alone and take your siitoa to the high seas where it belongs. I have asked this woman so many times in this column to name a country or countries that have ratified CEDAW and as a result the discrimination/violence against women in those countries have significantly decreased or eradicated altogether. She has not responded.
She has not responded because she knows that there are no such countries. In fact discrimination/violence against women have escalated dramatically in those countries in recent years.
So much for achieving your KPIs OGL!!! ”
