F²LAMEA: Fighting for Parental & Family Equality

F²LAMEA is a global movement originating in South Africa, dedicated to challenging discriminatory practices that harm children and families. Born from a father's fight against discrimination in the South African family courts, we champion the equal treatment of all before the law, upholding the best interests of the child as paramount.

Join us in our fight for Equality Before the Law

Prioritise the Best Interests of the Child

F²LAMEA advocates for the rights of all parents and family members, recognizing the vital role of extended family in a child's life. We are committed to dismantling systemic discrimination that separates children from their fathers and paternal relatives, and holding individuals, institutions, and governments accountable for upholding the principles of equality and non-discrimination enshrined in their constitutions and legislation.

Our Vision

F²LAMEA envisions a world where every child thrives in the care and support of their entire family, including parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, free from the damaging effects of discrimination. We strive for a society where family courts and related systems prioritise the well-being of children above all else, ensuring that their voices are heard, their needs are met, and their right to a loving relationship with both parents and extended family is protected.
