custody:(n) the protective care of someone or something — our children, our communities, the earth —and each other.
Fostering a shared commitment to protective care that restores natural cycles of health, healing, and regeneration within homes, systems, and our planet ― for the benefit of all.
We do this through a dedication to:
- All Children
- All Survivors
- Human Rights (applied equally to everyone)
- International Law (applied equally to everyone)
- Truth
- Justice
- Accountability
- Exposing & disempowering DARVO tactics
- Exposing textbook abuse perpetrator tactics & Coercive Control (on both the micro and macro level)
- Regenerative systems
- Disrupting cycles of violence (in our homes, workplaces, systems and planet)
- Ending perpetrator impunity, everywhere
- Promoting awareness of the interconnectedness of everyone and everything
- True liberation for all (every child, every human, every living thing)
- Humanity, hope, love, care and reimagining our world
We created Custody Peace years ago to raise awareness around coercive control and how this impacts the conditions in our homes and throughout our world, including in our homes, legal system, workplaces, schools, various institutions and our planet as a whole. On this journey, we studied the patterns of micro (family violence) and macro level (all forms of institutional violence & betrayal) and like so many before us, found that the tactics and patterns of abusers and oppressors around the globe on both levels are the same.
Their degenerative tactics are rooted in the need for domination and a goal to separate their victims from truth, nature, health, care, support, family, land, culture, resources and from oneself. In both cases, systems are weaponized, DARVO tactics are almost always present (to control the narrative) and in far too many cases, the deliberate harm of children is the clear intention. It is historically all by design.
We must design systems where the protection of survivors and perpetrator accountability are the natural outcomes.
Our goal is to continue to bear witness to the experiences of survivors throughout the globe (now, with a broader, intersectional view) and do our small part in supporting a broader awakening towards true liberation for all (every child, every human, every living thing).
We strive to continue to listen, evolve, see and speak up for the truth and for the human rights of all survivors of our degenerative systems (that’s all of us). We also strive to do this with an intersectional, child-centered view, inspired by solutions found in natural living systems (that live within and around us) and the wisdom of those who came before us.
When we collectively prioritize children, human rights, truth and perpetrator accountability, we will empower, support collective healing, and the healing of our communities and planet in every way imaginable.
Our Vision
Our vision is an optimistic one; that one day soon, the destructive and degenerative cycles of violence are replaced with natural cycles of health, healing and regeneration in our homes, communities and planet, for the benefit of every living, interdependent thing (that’s all of us).
Thank you to our evolving community for your solidarity and for being on this collective, optimistic, resilient journey together towards peace in our homes and our world.
The 60+ Most Impactful Contributions to Disrupting Cycles of Family Violence and Promoting the Safety and Well-being of Children (2021-2023)
We are so proud of everyone from around the globe who provided their time, energy, heart and soul to collectively achieve the 60+ incredibly significant contributions that have helped to make the the world safer for children over the last three years.
It is our extreme hope (and urging) that this momentum continues on a broader scale to ensure that the lives and human rights of all beings are protected and that all victims of oppression continue to rise together to cultivate more health and peace throughout our world. As we know, on a micro and macro level, the tactics of abusers/oppressors are the same. They are rooted in the perpetuation of separation from health, support, family, land, culture, justice, truth, and from oneself. When we all prioritize human rights and protection from violence and abuse, we empower, support collective healing, and the healing of our communities and planet in every way imaginable.
May these evolutions be a pathway to the larger movement in our world where cycles of abuse/oppression are replaced with natural cycles of health, peace, regeneration and liberation for all.
