The post Part I – A statistical analysis of applications made in 2021 under the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction: Global Report appeared first on International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children.

Once Elieth Samara was reported missing, ICMEC served as the on-the-ground advisor in the investigation. For 33 hours, ICMEC coordinated with dozens of partners from the U.S. Embassy, the Civil National Police, the Public Ministry in Guatemala, Alba-Keneth Alerts, and Facebook. These front-line child protection heroes acted swiftly and in coordination thanks to the training, technology and inter-agency collaboration that has been fostered for more than a decade. 

While Elieth has been safely reunited with her mother, our work is not done. More than a million children like her are reported missing each year around the world – and many more are victims of abuse and exploitation. That’s why ICMEC remains dedicated to continuing our work, because one child missing, abused, or exploited is one too many.
