Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 47
Párrafo
Paragraph text
Though disability laws may prohibit discrimination in social services, these laws do not always extend to child custody and protection proceedings. As a result, divorce proceedings and child custody hearings may focus on the mother's disability as opposed to her parenting behaviour, thereby implicitly equating parental disability with parental unfitness.
