Fans, influencers, and activists are campaigning to have Britney Spears' father removed as her legal guardian.

And they should. Under guardianship, the singer has not had full control over her life since 2008. Instead, other people – mostly her father – have had legal authority to make decisions about her career, finances, and personal life.

“I basically just want my life back…I want to be able to drive my car. I want to be able to live in my house by myself,” Spears said in 2008.

it is estimated that millions of people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities are deprived of legal capacity and placed under some form of guardianship. Most of them have been deemed unable to make their own decisions just because they have a disability.

As activists and fans intensify their efforts to free Britney from her father’s control, it's time to also champion the abolishment of guardianship systems worldwide.
