Better protect DV victims in QLD by recognising dads as particularly vulnerable to abuse
With changes in family laws and Acts in Queensland, men are now exposed to the risk of being denied access to their children at the discretion of the mother. This makes men particularly vulnerable to abuse. There are 10,000+ reported cases in Queensland alone.
It is a complex matter to resolve, but what we can all agree on is, using a person's access to their children to gain control and power over that person is a form of domestic violence. And we can all agree that in Queensland fathers are particularly vulnerable to that.
Just having the Queensland Government recognise this as an example will go a long way in healing and helping victims of this kind of domestic violence.
By signing this petition you support the below additions to the Queensland Domestic and Family Violence Protection Act.
In section 4 (2) d, the section needs to also include ‘Fathers’ as people who may be particularly to domestic violence.
In section 11, add ‘threatening to withhold a person’s access to their child’ as an example of emotional and psychological abuse.
Thanks again for your support. Together we can continue to work towards making equality equal.

The momentum is undeniable. It is clear that people are ready to recognize this form of abuse.

Men are just as vulnerable to family violence as women are. Women hold their children away from seeing their fathers with police support because of the fl system. Women accuse men of abuse to prevent child access. They lie and drive men to self harm. It’s not right women can do this to men. Police don’t believe men when they report abuse.
My children,family and myself are suffering the effects of this, due to the courts giving my ex control. Solely based on lies and purjured documents and false police reports
Myself and my children have and continue to be victimised by my ex , attacked physically, verbally, emotionally by the mother of our children
Government need to realise that men are just as vulnerable when it comes to DV especially psychological with children being withheld from loving fathers
My ex was the violent one ... but also the clever and cunning one that managed to frame me. I now have no access to my child. It is criminal.
It's the meeting just call me on 0423476391 Protect i have to be there can not make a mistake.
any idiot with half a brain can see that Men are victims too !

Too many untrue accusations and no timeframe for allowable evidence. Messages from 5 years earlier used to obtain a dvo is ridiculous.
