We protest: Unmarried mothers do not have the right to decide to raise their child alone. Any mother who does not want joint custody with the father risks losing custody and, in the worst case, her child. This is particularly devastating for mothers who are victims of violence and mothers in separation situations. These women are particularly often affected by violence. The daily lives of mothers are made disproportionately complicated by compulsory joint custody.

We protest against these laws, which provoke and escalate custody disputes.
Mothers must not be harmed and disenfranchised by laws.
We demand the withdrawal of legislation that endangers mothers and children and disempowers mothers.
