How to use guardianship in a sentence?

1. Rothna Begum:

   It continues to happen in the context of wider discrimination against women, particularly the male guardianship system in which women have to, still, require permission for traveling abroad, to marry or to undertake higher education.

2. Stephanie Escamilla:

   He can just stop going to his psychiatric visits, drop all his medications and what can I do? I can't force him unless I have guardianship.

3. Colleen Thompson:

   My daughter’s been dropped here. She’s basically abandoned, there’s no caretaker from her original orphanage. There is no one who has guardianship anywhere in this whole region [ of Lviv ]. She’s in limbo.

4. Stephanie Escamilla:

   I worry for my son because right now he's succeeding and he's doing OK and he's taking his medications but once he turns 18 and he learns that he's an adult, he can do whatever he would like to do, he can just stop going to his psychiatric visits, drop all his medications and what can I do? I can't force him unless I have guardianship.

5. Wendy Young:

   I've been working on this issue for 30 years. I can only think of maybe half a dozen cases where one of the unaccompanied kids has actually been put up for adoption, that's usually done when there's evidence that the parents are dead, and there's no other family member who can attain guardianship.
