Woods et. al. v Shewry et.al. - Opening _Brief_Final_Version (PDF) This is the lankmark case that helped end discrimination against male victims of domestic violence and by law forced domestic violence shelters to provide "equal treatment" to Men, Women and Children. **Mr. Woods was a Sacramento resident during his lawsuite against local Domestic Violence shelters. "Many men are similarly situated with women as victims of domestic violence. And many children who witness their fathers being victimized by domestic violence are similarly situated with children who witness their mothers being victimized by domestic violence. Many men are also similarly situated with women as incarcerated caretaker parents. In any event, no matter what the percentages and statistics are, these men, as individuals, are entitled to equal protection." (Page 22) |
