Bob Geldof: Wir brauchen ein neues Gesetz für Väter


Bob Geldof, der ehemalige Sänger der Boomtown Rats, ist schon seit Jahrzehnten für sein soziales Engagement bekannt. Unterstützte er Anfang der achtziger Jahre zunächst Amnesty International, so begründete er einige Jahre später die Live-Aid-Konzerte für die Hungernden in Afrika, wofür er für den Friedensnobelpreis nominiert und von der Queen zum Ritter geschlagen wurde. Ein Problem, das Geldof heute besonders am Herzen liegt, ist die Entrechtung der Väter in unserer Gesellschaft. Im britischen Boulevardblatt "Sun" redet er ihren Leserinnen und Lesern ins Gewissen:

Now again it’s Christmas. We’re all busy spending on our loved ones, our families and, most especially, our children.

In particular this is the children’s festival. The time when a kind old man will slip down a chimney or slide down a roof and bring joy to your child - FATHER Christmas.

It is the special child’s time because 2,000 years ago, the story tells us, a woman and a man had a baby together and though the man knew perfectly well he was not the child’s father he nonetheless loved him and his wife and raised him to be strong, independent, brave and loving.

Lucky kid, to have Joseph for a dad. Indeed, were Jesus alive today, to have any dad at all to raise him to be a good man.

For those divorced men with children, Christmas is a travesty, a repulsive contradiction of a family holiday, of a loving celebration, of a special children’s time.

These are the men who will be forced to be alone without their babies, who will commit suicide most frequently at this time of year in an age when male suicides are already 300 per cent greater than women’s.


Hier geht es damit weiter, dass Geldof die Männerfeindlichkeit unserer Gesellschaft anprangert.
