I couldn't love this woman more. She's an inspiration. Absolutely resolute in the face of endless flak from all sides, undermining by the UN itself, cuts in staff, and the necessity of facing up to the multiple forms of violence and abuse that women suffer.
This report covers the whole range of state-enabled and personal violence suffered by women and the recommendations include a specific focus on legal abuse in the family courts and Hague Convention courts:
(b) Recognize the weaponization of mother-child relations as a core mechanism of coercive control and post-separation abuse constituting violence against mothers and their children, and also recognize litigation abuse and court-induced poverty as forms of economic violence against mothers;
(c) Remove duties requiring mothers to facilitate abusive contact and end the forced removal of children from protective mothers, including by banning punitive supervision orders;
(d) Enforce child support obligations, including through direct withholding of support from fathers’ incomes and establishing State maintenance funds providing timely payments where fathers default or delay, thereby shifting the burden of enforcement from individual mothers to the State.
And, particularly dear to my heart:
(e) Introduce a mandatory, child- and survivor-centred exception under the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction requiring courts to
conduct a thorough domestic violence risk assessment before ordering return.

She does good work which I support. A pity she cannot bring herself to support the women of Israel raped and murdered on 7th October.

She is a tireless campaigner for women and children, long may she continue.
It's a shame the UN is full wankers, and quite a few men who are responsible for all of the issues she highlights.

She has and you keep repeating this at every opportunity.

The issue was and still is that a UN report can only be written by people from the UN and the Israeli Government refused access to anyone from the UN.

Since then the UN has adopted / supported an independent report.

Why not give it a rest.

Endlessly repeating, at any opportunity, this falsehood is just another example, usually the male left and right, who actually dont care about violence against women, but wont to score points.

Thanks OP for sharing this. I actually didn't know they bothered with doing reports on mothers. So that's a positive.

And yes, brilliant that Reem Alsalem is continuing to do good work whilst being attacked by her own colleagues for supporting women's sex based rights.
