Protect innocent men from being wrongfully charged with Domestic Violence

✍️ Petition:

Help protect innocent men wrongfully accused of domestic violence — Before It's Too Late

We're calling for urgent public support to demand a review of the 2024 changes to the Family Domestic Violence Order laws before they become permanent in December.

This isn't about protecting abusers — it's about protecting the innocent men who are being wrongly punished under these changes.

Imagine the devastating impact on a man's life when he is falsely accused. His reputation, relationships, and mental health are put on trial, risking an unjust conviction that could follow him for life.

💔 Our Story

I'm speaking out because my partner — a kind, wonderful man — was falsely accused under the new version of the FDVO law.

He, like many others, has mental health challenges. Instead of getting support, the system turned on him. He's now stuck under an order he can't fight, for something he didn't do, and I, the so-called "protected person," wasn't even allowed to defend him when he was rushed through the system while still unwell.

We are one of at least 27 known cases in our district alone where innocent men have been targeted by misuse of these laws.

Since losing him, my life has fallen apart. Emotionally. Financially. I've lost the one person who supported me and the worst part? Real abusers in our lives are walking free, while people like us are being torn apart by a system that claims to protect us.

⚠️ What's Wrong with the 2024 Amendment?



* It traps innocent men, especially men with mental health issues, with no way to prove their innocence.



* It forces families apart, even when both sides want to stay together.



* It's so rigid that even the protected person can't speak up without social ridicule and legal neglect and insult or worse.



* Meanwhile, many actual abusers ignore these orders, and police are often unaware of them in real cases — making everyone ill-informed and unsafe.



* It's overwhelming the system with false cases, making it harder to protect people truly at risk.



This amendment was meant to protect people — but it's hurting families, destroying lives, and letting real violence fall through the cracks.



❗ We're Demanding:



1. A full public review of the 2024 FDVO amendment before it becomes permanent.



2. Safeguards to protect innocent men, especially those with mental health conditions.



3. A fair way for families to challenge or correct false accusations without being punished for it or waiting a year separated for it.



✊ Why This Matters



This could happen to your brother, your son, your partner, your friend — or you.



No one should be ripped from their family because of a flawed policy with no checks and no voice for the innocent and no innocent man should live in fear of his every breath being mistook for violence because of a fractured policy.



We still believe in protecting people from REAL domestic violence but not just letting innocent men suffer for it.

Please sign this petition if you agree that innocent men should not be punished by broken laws or having mental health issues.

There ARE good men out there and they do not deserve wrongful prosecution for something they didn't do.
