Fathers' rights movement in Italy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The fathers' rights movement in Italy is dedicated to achieving equal parental rights and obligations and shared parenting of children after divorce or separation. It consists of a number of diverse organizations, ranging from social charities and self-help groups to civil disobedience activists. At the local level, organizations offer support to newly separated fathers, many of whom are highly distraught.

Organizations[]

Some of the most important fathers' right organizations in Italy are:
