Every year, in Canada and around the world, thousands of children are wrongfully removed or retained across international borders by a parent in violation of custody rights.

 

Left-behind parents find themselves navigating these complex cross-border cases alone, with limited resources and support.  Systemic barriers, varying levels of compliance with the Hague Convention and the challenges of cross-border enforcement significantly reduce the likelihood of reunification and make it difficult to preserve meaningful parent–child relationships during prolonged separation.

​

Together, we can change this.
