Harmful vs Protective ‘Abduction’ under The 1980 Hague Convention

GlobalARRK, Filia Hague Mothers, Sanctuary for Families, Revibra Europe and NZ Hague Collective share their joint information poster on the important distinction between harmful and protective ‘abductions’. During the Forum with the HCCH and key legal professionals, we will be making clear the importance of recognising the difference as failing to distinguish between harmful and protective abductions undermines the very principles the Hague Convention seeks to uphold. Protecting children from harm must remain paramount. An international legal response that recognises the reality of domestic abuse, and that does not penalise survivors for seeking safety, is both necessary and urgent.
