This human rights report, based primarily on the in-depth testimonies of 40 battered mothers in 11 of the 14 counties in Massachusetts, documents and analyzes instances in which the Massachusetts family courts violate internationally accepted human rights laws and standards. The report focuses specifically on cases involving child custody and visitation issues where there is a history of partner abuses and concludes with a series of detailed, practical recommendations for change. You can order both the video and the report together or separately.
