Missing Children Europe is the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children. As an umbrella organisation, it represents 23 Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) active in 16 Member States of the European Union and Switzerland. Each of these organisations is active in cases of missing and/or sexually exploited children at grassroots level, including prevention and support for victims.
According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, 91% of Europeans believe that the 116 000 hotline for missing children is a useful service. But there is a lot of work to do in terms of awareness and communication.
MCE Member organisation, ITAKA - Centre for Missing People Foundation, invites you to a conference on the phenomenon of parental abductions, on 16 February 2012.
