We are very grateful to have five of our papers cited here. The post provides a huge amount of free knowledge if you are a victim-survivor, particularly for those engaged in #familycourt proceedings #coercivecontrol#domesticviolence#postseparationabuse https://t.co/00KRrNfmpQ

I am pleased to announce that my report on violence against mothers (A/HRC/62/49) which I presented to the @UN_HRC in June 2026 has now been issued. It is available in all of the UN official languages on my mandate's webpage:

Thank you so much to journalist @AndhaBandar Suzanne Martin for covering our new paper. The mothers and children are extremely grateful for any light shed on their horrendous experiences 🙏https://t.co/zCMUE2txCf
I know this is the reality - so very many of the protective mothers we work with have lost custody of their children to perpetrators. Family courts & Hague courts directly enable this continuing abuse. Thank you for shining such a powerful light.
Such powerful findings. Thank you for your work on the toxicity of the family courts and the impact on victim-survivors. It's heartbreaking.

New paper: 'some children became “aged” by the court process taking on inappropriate caring responsibilities for younger siblings or feeling responsible for the consequences of court decisions, with some facing threats that their mothers would go to prison if they did not comply'
