Earlier this year in Lithuania 🇱🇹 and during the 2025 #ISPCAN Congress (International Society for the #Prevention of #ChildAbuse and Neglect) we kicked off our presentations on the global and deadly dangers and risks of allowing pseudoscience such as #parentalalienation in #familycourt.

This week we heard of the successful overturn of a #familycourt case where a mother (referred to as *Sara in the reporting by @hansummers.bsky.social @tbij.bsky.social) had seen her daughters removed from her care in the name of the #pseudoscientific and #misogynistic ‘#alienation’ label.

A few weeks ago, I was at the FiLiA 2025 conference where I had just attended a panel session on the global misogyny in our family courts presenting insights from Brazil with the parental alienation law, England and Wales as well as India.

A recap from the #filia2025 women’s liberation conference (representing that I attended to support our #haguemothers campaign). I got to spend time with some truly remarkable women that left me with a new gained power to keep going.

Thank you #FiLiA for that! ✊🏿💚💜🤍✊🏼

I had THE most brilliant #FiLiA2025 conference time with these wonderful, inspiring and determined women.

We laughed, made great plans together, nearly cried and laughed some more.

This week we published our podcast in Swedish on the connections between violence against women and children and our legal systems and particularly through the use of pseudoscience as a form of legal abuse in our family court systems.

Repost @hearherstories and @myvoicemychoiceorg For decades, survivors warned that guns in the hands of abusers turn homes into war zones. Now, the UK has taken a historic step: anyone with a domestic abuse conviction will be denied a firearm licence.

Repost @unwomen Gender-based violence devastates lives worldwide.

Yet, the 2025 Global Media Monitoring Project finds it appears in fewer than 2 in 100 news stories.

This silence reinforces stereotypes, sidelines women, and stalls progress.

Accountability cannot wait.
