Fathers 4 Justice (or F4J) is a fathers’ rights organisation in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2001, the group aims are to gain public and parliamentary support for changes in UK legislation on fathers' rights, mainly using stunts and protest. Fathers4Justice was founded by Matt O’Connor in 2001 after he was denied access to his two boys, Daniel and Alexander, following a difficult divorce. Furthermore their aim is to champion the causes of equal parenting, family law reform and equal contact for divorced parents with children. It is best known for its campaigning techniques of protest stunts, usually dressed as comic book superheroes, and frequently climbing public buildings, bridges and monuments. Fathers 4 Justice wants parents and grandparents to be given a legal right to see their children and grandchildren.
F4j are both sectional and cause. They are sectional because they are all fathers fight for themselves (their children) however they are also cause …show more content…
The group was briefly disbanded in January 2006 following allegations that people linked to the group plotted to kidnap Tony Blair's youngest son, Leo. But the organisation was reformed the following May.
They were successful in some sense, such as spreading awareness of their issue around the world. What I mean is that after the stunt at Westminster in London, father from around the world like Italy have started a campaign similar to the one in London. They haven’t influence any law making however in April 2010, Fathers4Justice aligned themselves with the Conservative Party, as that party had promised legislation if they won a majority at the 2010 general election. However, the Conservatives did not win an overall majority and formed a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.
Father for justice have obtained some positive points which I will discuss
