Today we are launching the Hague Mothers’ Campaign website. We are aiming to end the injustices caused by legislation that all too frequently leads to a continuation of abuse – of mothers and children – and even to a mother losing custody of the child she has been trying to protect.
A key part of the Hague Mothers’ legacy project will therefore be to create an archive of mothers’ stories – a permanent record of the often catastrophic impact of the Hague Convention on mothers and their children. We are also collating existing stories from across the world in order to ensure that mothers’ voices are not lost to history.
One of the most recent, and powerful, accounts of mothers’ experience of the Hague is Flight, Return, Silence, produced by Angela Rangecroft for Radio 4. Three mothers are interviewed. Two of them – Kim Fawcett and Anita Gera – are working with us on the Hague Mothers’ project. We are grateful for their courage and their contribution.

Hurrah! I hope this will become a global campaign to silence forever those nasty individuals who do not even know what it is to birth a child and look after it and love it for its entire life!
