Fathers are essencial, why keeping them away?

Knowing that 85% of youths in prison come from fatherless homes, shouldn’t we be doing everything possible to ensure that men stay involved in their children’s lives, even after divorce?

Why do some women actively try to keep fathers away, using custody as a weapon for personal revenge—often for reasons that have nothing to do with fatherhood? The impact on the children is severe, yet society largely ignores it.

And what about divorce itself? Shouldn’t we make it less attractive and less financially rewarding for just one party? Right now, divorce often devastates one person while benefiting the other. Shouldn’t both parties face equal consequences instead of one being left with everything and the other with nothing?

We need to push this into the political debate. Society cannot afford to ignore the effects of fatherlessness any longer.
