Blogging about Equal Rights for Men or writing about Gender Biased Laws is often looked upon as controversial, as many 'perceive' it Anti-Women. Due to this grey area - where we demand Equality in the true sense for all genders - most brands distance themselves from a portal like ours. Many advertisers have also shied away from associating with us on Father's Day or International Men's Day, because our articles are largely about separated or falsely accused Men who are looked upon as criminals even before conviction.
We, therefore, look forward to your support as donors who understand our work and are willing to partner with us in our endeavour to spread this cause. We also encourage small donations from a large number of readers, so that we are not influenced or dependent on any one big contributor. Do support our work to counter one sided gender biased narratives in the media.

About the Founder
Arnaz Hathiram has been an active member of the Men’s Rights Movement since several years and has also represented the delegation that organised a seminar demanding a Commission for Men in India in September 2018. She holds a Master’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communication with a specialization in Social Media and has nearly two decades of professional experience.
About Our Funding
MDO was an earnest effort that commenced its operations in July 2019 with the founder's personal savings. We do not have funding
from any big investor or corporate as of now.
Revenue Model
The portal was started with an aim to spread awareness amongst society about Gender Biased Laws against Men. Initially, we did not collect any funds until traffic on the website started picking up and we accrued higher expenses - after migrating to a private server, towards maintenance of technical backend operations, digital promotions, hiring of staff, others:
Thus, we largely depend on small donations from maximum number of readers/viewers, that aid us in developing the brand and promoting the cause further.
Help VFMF Go Advertisement/Investor Free
Any media today depends on certain investors who could possibly influence the content in some way. Venture Capital Investors purely look at Return on Investment (ROI), and VFMF does not intend to go commercial which may impact our work or compel us to publish only certain kinds of articles.
We also do not believe in cluttering our web space with Google Ads which may or may not be relevant to our readers.
You, as a donor, who firmly believes in the work we do, can empower us by becoming a frequent donor by contributing any sum
comfortable with you every month. There is no minimum amount cap on the donation and we humbly welcome your support in
every way.
