Bringing women together in unified support as they experience systemic failures and misogyny in Family & Matrimonial Courts across America.
Mothers Lost
May 27th marked the 3rd anniversary of Catherine Kassenoff’s death. Catherine was a founding member of WeSpoke and her death shook us deeply as it did for the thousands of women still trapped in family courts world-wide. Then in July 2025, we lost another WeSpoke member, Elizabeth Harding Weinstein, who was mysteriously found dead. Lizzie expressed very clearly that “We are in a war - this is domestic terrorism” when describing what women are put through in the predatory divorce industry.
Since Catherine’s death in 2023, we have counted over 40 women whose deaths directly link to separation, divorce or child custody in the U.S. We continue to add to this list as many women don’t make it out alive while trying to leave their partners.
Our Mothers Lost Campaign lets us take pause to remember these women and to feel the outrage of these senseless and preventable deaths. So many children left without a mom.
In her farewell note, Catherine said “Don’t let my death be in vain.” So here we are.
Please read and share these women’s stories wide and far.
