@UniSouthWales is hosting the International Conference of Missing Children and Adults 5th-7th July in Cardiff. The event will cover the challenges faced by those who are missed, those who respond to missing and those who are affected by missing. https://t.co/ExRFaDbWP7

A thirteen year old girl was reported missing from Edmonton and, thankfully, has been found. She was apparently abducted and taken to Oregon. There are hundreds of posts on social media referring to her by name. If you posted one of them, please consider deleting it.

“@libertyg_sister said she doesn’t like when people say “I’m sorry for your loss.” I don’t either. But I don’t know why. We simply don’t have a language for families and survivors of violent crime.” @kimegoldman talks about living with her brother Ron’s murder. #crimecon

An estimated 12 million Ukrainians have been displaced, having fled their homes and their country since the Feb. 24 Russian invasion began, to safer places within Ukraine or beyond.

But Ukraine’s disappeared make up a vast and so-far-uncounted group. https://t.co/Fw2jrlJ8hG

“War is war, but flowers still need to be planted” - the view of a Kyiv city gardener, bringing spring colour to the city. She’s hopeful that conflict will be over soon and wants the capital looking beautiful again. #Ukraine

"I affirm that the daffodil is my favourite flower. For the daffodil comes, not only before the swallow comes, but before all the many flowers of summer; it comes on the heels of a flowerless winter. Yes, a favourite flower must be a spring flower."

One thing that very few people have pointed out about Ukraine is how its state has continued to provide essential services even under severe disruptions created by Russia's invasion — and even more, how quickly it has adapted to this new reality. A couple of examples.

@moore_psych @capableguardian @DrArnal Happy to help.

[Dr Sarah Wayland (she/her) @sarahlwayland]

After a day of interviews the one takeaway I want to remind people is that media representations of who goes missing are not indicative of who actually goes missing. We need media guidelines to ensure safe inclusion of all who are missing + vulnerable. #cleosmith #missingpersons
