Fathers have protested in front of the Ministry of Justice in Sofia to signal over one of the biggest social problems – declining number of children growing up with both of their parents. According to fathers, one of the ways out is shared parenting.

"Children of separated parents should spend equal time with one and the other. It has been done in many countries and it is time for it to happen in this country as well," one of the protesters said. Another added it was alarming that so many children were growing up without fathers in modern society.

The peaceful demonstration took place on Father's Day, commemorating St. Joseph the Betrothed, the earthly father of Christ.
