For years, New Hampshire has had a Commission on the Status of Women. Now, some say men’s issues deserve attention, too. Concerns about health,fatherhood, and high suicide and crime rates have lead to a bill that would establish a commission to study the status of men. But critics say other state agencies already handle these issues, and such a step would only undermine women’s struggles for equality. Laura speaks with State Representative David Bickford(www.state.nh.us), the bill’s primary sponsor, and Scott Hamilton, director of Ending the Violence, a private agency working to end domestic and sexual violence.
