Visakhapatnam : Men Welfare Trust (MWT) in collaboration with Save Indian Family (SIF) has launched the first-ever nationwide bike ride with a mission to gather one lakh signatures to advocate for the establishment of a Men’s Welfare Commission in India.

The journey began on May 26 from Gurugram, with bikers Dr. Amjadkhan Nadim Shaikh and Sandeep Pawaria embarking on an ambitious 15,000-kilometer expedition across the country.

Their mission is to raise awareness about pressing issues affecting men, including rising male suicides, misuse of gender-based laws, domestic violence against men, and parental alienation.

The bikers have already passed through major cities like Delhi, Lucknow, Patna, Siliguri, Kolkata, and Bhubaneswar, reaching Visakhapatnam on Sunday.

Upon their arrival, Dr. Amjadkhan Nadim Shaikh emphasized the significance of their mission, stating, “This initiative is not just about raising awareness but also about driving tangible change.

By signing and sharing the petition, we invite individuals from all walks of life to join us in our quest for gender equality and justice for all.”

Welcoming the bikers to the city, D. Srinivasa Rao, a founder of the Save Family Harmony, Andhra Pradesh Chapter of SIF, highlighted the urgent need for a Men’s Welfare Commission and a dedicated Women and Child Welfare Commission.

He remarked, “Today, thousands of men in the country are suffering financially, physically, mentally, and morally due to gender-biased laws, which are broadly being misused by a section of women and some legal practitioners.

This ride for the Men’s Commission initiative seeks to resolve the challenges confronting men.”

The next leg of the expedition will see the riders travel through Guntur, Chennai, Rameswaram, Kanyakumari, Thrissur, Goa, Kolhapur, Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Jammu, Kargil, Leh, Manali, Shimla, Dehradun, and Haridwar.

The bike ride is supported by a Change.org petition titled "Support the Ride for Men’s Commission initiative to address men’s issues in India.

This petition calls for the establishment of a commission dedicated to men’s welfare, and the bikers, along with SIF AP chapter members, have been actively gathering signatures from locals along their route.
