The ‘Parental Alienation’ Belief System – and its Impact on Mothers.

The video gives an overview of the harms of the so-called ‘Parental Alienation’ belief system, which is used globally to deny child sexual and other abuse. The group hopes this video will help raise awareness of the plight of mothers and children and the structural violence they face in family courts.
