AMBER Alert Europe

Every year, 100.000 children go missing in the EU. AMBER Alert Europe aims for #zeromissingkids by preventing children from going missing or bringing them home.

Kinderen moeten thuis veilig zijn. Als dit niet zo is, lopen sommigen weg. Daarom start @StichtingAAEU een campagne om signalen te herkennen van huiselijk geweld, vóórdat een kind vermist raakt. Goed dat hier ook op Europees niveau aandacht voor is! https://t.co/9e19pv7Bnk
