Improvement in Family Law

Created in 2007, and registered in 2008, SOS Papa is a father ’s rights organisation in Mauritius, fighting for father’s rights and mostly children living in broken families. SOS Papa ’s current principle aim is to challenge the laws, particularly the family law which states that a child under 5 must go to his mother in case of a divorce. SOS Papa firmly believes that each situation is unique and demands a one to one attention call for each family. Furthermore, domestic violence does not only affect women but also men and yet there is no updated statistics on these incidences in Mauritius. SOS Papa strongly believes in the role of good parenting, acknowledging that divorce often have a huge impact on the child, particularly if the divorce is anything but ‘amicable ’. SOS Papa despite being a fathers ’ rights organisation also councils couples in general, believing in a partnership between both parents in all cases.
