My son’s life was destroyed by false accusations

Mothers of Sons is a group of ordinary women whose sons have faced extraordinary ordeals in our unjust, anti-male legal systems and workplaces.

MOS offers advice and support for other mothers and fights for fair treatment for all.

National Plan to Stop Violence against Everybody

A parliamentary committee found Australia wasted over $3 billion on the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their children.

They recommend the new National Plan should be not just for women but for all victims of violence including men, children, as well as older, disabled and LGBTI people.

Use our draft letter to lobby your MP urging the government to act on this important recommendation.

Also help us with our Pinocchio campaign on MOS Facebook, exposing the lies prominent Australians promote about domestic violence.

Listen to some of our mothers

Voices, names and some other details are disguised to protect families from further false allegations and legal strife.

Vimala

My son lost his reputation and access to his child when his wife was trained by domestic violence workers to make false allegations of violence and child sexual abuse.

Alissa

As a grandmother, I was shocked to discover that AVOs are being used as an effective tool by some mothers to push fathers and grandparents out children's lives.

Erin

When the rape accusations against my 18 year-old son Toby fell apart in court and he was found not guilty, there were tears in the eyes of female jurists.

Mary

Finally. It took seven years for our son to convince the Family Court that his children were at risk from their mentally-ill mother who’d threatened to kill them.
