dc.description.notesThis paper, presented in the “Myths, Misconceptions, and the Men’s Movement” panel at the conference, looks at the ‘fathers’ rights’ movement and its impact on violence against women. It outlines the history of the movement and the 4 major forms of impact on violence against women, which include: (1) privileging contact with children over children’s safety (i.e. uncritical assumption that children’s contact with both parents is necessary – the Family Court’s new principle of the ‘right to contact’ overrides its principle of the right to ‘safety from violence’); (2) discrediting victims (i.e. the myths of women making false accusations of child abuse and domestic violence); (3) public perceptions of intimate violence – men’s versus women’s violence (i.e. allegations that domestic violence is gender-equal or gender-neutral – based on selective use of data from Conflict Tactics Scale studies, but which have methodological problems and have been widely criticised); and (4) protecting perpetrators and undermining supports for victims (such as introducing legal penalties for malicious behaviour, greater use of mediation and counselling, instead of pro-arrest policies, in order to undermine the treatment of domestic violence as criminal behaviour). It also highlights the positive responses by men including the White Ribbon Campaign and concludes with a summary of key strategies on how to address the backlash.en
