Why do US courts favour the abusive father in child custody battles - a documentary about domestic violence in the USA

[Louise Tickle @louisetickle]

Most of all, thanks to the brave people who spoke to us for the film, and to those who came to us with their stories of such pain and trauma, and who aren't seen on screen. This is for you.

[Louise Tickle @louisetickle]

In advance of @BBCPanorama I want to say how grateful I am to 3 judges who listened to the arguments I made to be able to do the investigation required to stand up the journalism in this programme + upheld freedom of expression for the families who spoke out and for the media.

Political rhetoric says that my fellow single mums are responsible for everything from child poverty to societal break down. In court, single mums are viewed with open contempt.
I know thousands of amazing single mums. Being a single mum is hard work but society makes it harder.

Congratulations @NataliePage31! Such a well deserved award for a champion of family justice 👏👏👏

I'm speaking at the @womensaid event tomorrow, marking a year since the harm report. We'll be discussing the developments and the continued concerns with the #familycourt's response to domestic abuse. Has anything changed one year on?

Start supporting these mothers and stop forcing children into abusive and dangerous situations.

Be like Spain...

[Centre for Social Injustice @Punishthepoor]

The Spanish Government has today passed a new child protection law banning the use of theories without scientific basis which silence the voice of the child, such as bogus parental alienation theory.

We must work together internationally to defeat this dangerous ideology.

This is happening globally - I receive messages from all over the world about this happening or beginning to happen elsewhere. It is becoming a global spectrum of misery for survivor families.

Domestic abuse film touches a nerve: https://t.co/uFOhC5DJbQ @DrProudman

@HWistrich - “Our research investigates why, despite an apparent increase in the understanding of domestic abuse, we still see so many miscarriages of justice with women who are themselves victims, serving life imprisonment for choosing to survive.”https://t.co/Lpa9Wmpfxa

[Harriet Wistrich @HWistrich]

Our report is out now - compelling study of appalling discrimination against women in criminal justice system - resulting in gross miscarriages of justice
