A Letter from the Founder 

“With the advancement of technical and technological globalization, as well as the modernization of communication, travel, and means of transportation, it became easier for individuals to cross the borders of their home and create a new life abroad.  Over the course of many years, we witnessed the increase in the rate of international marriages, and with every problem, a solution was sought. Many legal frameworks were developed and established in effort to govern international relationships; the most prominent today is the Hague Convention. The latter is a framework that aims to preserve the rights of two married individuals from different countries, and the rights of the child born from this relationship.

The Hague Convention was established following marital disputes that resulted in Parental Child Abduction. Although it has aided in the resolution of numerous cases of International Parental Child Abduction around the world, one might ask “Is this Convention enough?”

In reality, it is evident that the Hague convention only applies to countries that are signatory to it. The real issue lies in the failure of many countries to join the convention, and thus failure in preserving the rights of all pertinent parties. Not to mention the Convention’s inability to entirely provide protection in the face of terrorism on one hand, and the rapid spread of the pandemic on the other.

In light of all the obstacles mentioned, and inability to apply the regulations of the Hague Convention, many organizations around the world took it upon themselves to fight, advocate, and find solutions for victims of International Parental Child Abduction. Organizations of all kinds work hard to prevent future abductions from occurring, and educate the people on the issue.

In support of our fellow advocates, victims of this crime, and left-behind parents, we believe it is our duty today to carry on what others have been striving for, for many years. That is why, we aim to be the platform that advocates for International Parental Child Abduction, and sheds light to all the legal, financial and social struggles associated with the cases.

We hope that our initiatives make an impact, and lead to the return of abducted children whose cases are currently pending in courts all over the world. Our aim is to educate all individuals and include international communities in our fight against this dreadful crime.

We are here to share your stories, to listen to you and to support you.

Please feel free to reach out with your inquiries and comments, to enhance our approach and reach the ultimate goal of ending the suffering of so many individuals who are wronged.”
