Child protection office boss blocked out of office

Members of the K213 club blocked the entrance to the Office for International Legal Protection of Children in Brno on Monday, preventing its director Lenka Pavlová from coming to work. The K231 Club, named after a paragraph of the Czech Penal Code which deals with divorced parents’ duties towards their children, associates divorced fathers prevented by courts from seeing their children. They claim that as a former member of several Czech feminist organisations Ms. Pavlova defended ideas which are in conflict with the government’s equal opportunities policy.
