There's an event tomorrow for International Womens Day that I thought people on MN might be interested in - original thread below:
Wondered if anyone in or around London would be interested in this event next week on International Women's Day?

From what I've seen there are many injustices in the family courts, with violent fathers being given custody of their children, denying victims of domestic violence and their children protection. I remember the Women's Aid research, 19 child homicides and I know in several of those cases, the violent man was given access to the children they killed by judges in the family courts.
I really feel that many more mothers and children are at risk from violent ex partners. Surely there must be some way to make the family courts open while still protecting the identity of the children involved?
I am going to go, and wanted to let others know it's happenning incase anyone going through the same thing wants to come and share their experiences, and get support if they need it.
