Interesting. I’ve enquired in the comments stream why there’s no mention of the suicides of fathers denied access to their children by the family courts, two obvious potential explanations occurred to me.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Actually one of the surprising things about the Scandinavians is that their divorce rates didn’t climb high until this century. Even now the UK’s levels of divorce, single parenthood and illegitimacy are way higher than any other European country. In the period covered, the last two decades of the last century, Finland’s divorce rate was a fraction of the contemporary UK. It also has a presumption of equal parenting, similar to the piece about Kentucky. Not to say there aren’t custody battles I’m sure. But possibly these were not such a prominent issue (in terms of numbers) as they were and are in the UK. I remember reading about the the Finnish sex equality body, interestingly just under half of the cases they dealt with were complaints by men about discrimination against men. In my dreams would the EHRC get anything like that sort of use by British men.
