Statements of Lucía Ortiz Amaro
Statements of Lucía Ortiz Amaro, lawyer and member of the antigone group:
» many women prefer often to sign a convention to avoid reprisals not only towards them but also towards the children. They prefer a shared custody because they know that if they are left, this would mean that violence towards them and towards children would never end «, admit Lucía Ortiz, jurist and member of the antigone research group of the autonomous university of Barcelona (UAB). The lawyer recognizes that shared custody becomes an instrument for the maintenance of power relations: » it involves a whole topic of economic violence. Not only this: they use visits regimes to perpetuate even more this violence: in exchanges throughout the weekend children have not been changed of clothes, the parents explain them things they should not explain them , they make them partakers of everything they do them, they never deliver them at the time… this does increase the suffering of women regarding the safety of the son «. Ortiz explains that, even, » One of the first demands of men for the signing of the convention is to ensure the physical presence of women in the delivery and collection of children. It doesn’t serve you to reculla them or porte them to school «.
