Mothers are NOT abductors |

Category: Human Rights
Region: GLOBAL
Target: The Hague Convention
Web site: http://theanonymums.com
Background (Preamble):
The Hague convention was originally made to stop child abduction in cases where they were perceived as a commodity which led to harm.
Most of these cases involved fathers during the family law trends where mothers were acknowledged as primary care givers. Since the backlash towards women and children having more rights, two key movements brought about changes in family law internationally. T
hese changes have led to 70% of battered mothers losing custody to their perpetrators and 15000 children ordered unsupervised contact with a violent parent. The last report from the international social services documented this trend with the following observation:
Mothers highest reason for being on the run is from violence.
It is a well documented fact that Family Courts internationally are negligent towards the rights of victims and the rights of children.

Petition:
We compel the Hague Convention to review the text of its treaties with all countries to make amendments that enforce each signatory to ensure that they are adequately protecting the rights of victims of family violence in the context of family law and such strives for excellence to ensure that the population of "abductors" are not a result of engendered violence perpetrated by the state.
That signatories must prove that they are not violating one particular genders rights of freedom to roam and unnecessarily depriving children of their mother.
