On March 18th, 2021 Motion No.3122 – “Création de structures d’hébergement pour hommes et garçons victimes de violence domestique” initially presented by Deputy Mr. Fernand KARTHAISER was put to vote in the Luxembourg Parliament. Mainly because of an increase in number of female perpetrators – in 2020 to ~40% (39.72%) – and because there is not a single shelter for Fathers with children, victims of violence and domestic abuse.
CSV and ADR voted in favor of the Motion No.3122, Pirate Partei abstained from voting and Luxembourg government coalition DP, LSAP, déi gréng as well as another party déi lénk voted against the motion denying men, boys and fathers with children EQUAL TREATMENT and the same type of social services already available in Luxembourg to women, girls and mothers with children.
