"Under inter‑American human rights law states may not apply private international law instruments in ways that reproduce gender‑based violence, discriminate against women, or expose children to foreseeable harm"

For victim-survivors attempting to escape DV, sexual abuse, or coercive control, and keep their child safe, ABDUCTION IS A PROTECTIVE ACT.
The use of the #HagueAbductionConvention in such cases enables further abuse. State-sanctioned.

I have completed another article on the Hague Abduction Convention and survivors of family violence who "abduct" their children. It proposes that countries create a new treaty to make the law work better for survivors and their children. See https://t.co/tEp7a1Qh3x.

The incredible Ruth Dineen, thank you Ruth!

[FiLiAHagueMothers @FiLiAHagueMums]

Recommendations from @GlobalARRK worth repeating:
1. Understand better the reality for families post return: Research and new monitoring role
2. Funding for support services
3. Joined up systems to ensure every child gets a best interests decision

Thank you Ros Osborne @GlobalARRK “Every country needs an accessible and efficient functioning relocation system”

There is no current international agreement or consistency on this

@GlobalARRK
116 people surveyed, successful relocation applications were 37.14% - nearly half took over two years to complete and 4 took over 3 years to complete. 50% took longer than 12 months and are still on-going. Time taken to undertake relocation is a big issue
