Reform child custody laws and policy domestically and internationally to protect mothers and children when they are fleeing abuse.
Why is this important?
Many single mothers did not choose to be single mothers. We had no choice: we were fleeing domestic violence to protect ourselves and our children. Only to find out that we were bound by child custody laws that allow abusers to continue to exert control over us and our children. This issue affects American mothers domestically and internationally, both of whom are loyal Democratic voters.
