We, all the undersigned agree on and support Hungary’s Government’s new Media Law
As responsible European citizens and Hungarian Civil women, we proclaim that we are committed to all European moral values and we commit to respect the legal laws of the community.
Accordingly, we welcome the new provisions that have been made with the new media law of the Hungarian Government focusing on child and family protection.
With this Declaration we support the following:
• Media should inform authentically the society
• Media should serve the physical, spiritual and mental development of people
• Media, as it is a mediator of values, should present justice, goodness and beauty
• Media should protect public morality, moreover educate and encourage everyone to it
• Media should not present sin as a virtue, should not encourage to sin, and to commit criminal acts
• Media should not popularize any forms of violence and pornography
• Advisements should not use children for commercial purposes.
The mission of the Hungarian Women’s Alliance is the confession of our female vocation at the same time: ”As it is the woman, like is the family, as it is the family, like is the society.”
The most genuine vocation of a woman is giving life and raising children and this can be fulfilled only in the family. The woman being in charge of the hearth of the family, takes an integral part in the formation of our society.
Accordingly, the media is called to present female dignity in a respectful way and to strengthen the values of marriage, family and motherhood.
We object the immoral tendencies we receive though the media. It is unacceptable to express a positive opinion on the marital infidelity, on divorces, on free sexual life and pornography, furthermore on the ignorance of children’s rights.
Media Authority is called to account for and - in case of necessity - to apply sanctions againts contraventions.
It is unacceptable that media presents women in a distorted way being items of necessity for men, instead of giving a realistic view about them. Women are active citizens of the society in the family, on the labour market and in public life.
We consider this to be such a grave matter that we are calling for an immediate determined action!
