International Missing Children’s Day

On 25th of May, the International Missing Children's Day was celebrated across Europe. It provided an opportunity to commemorate missing children, express support to parents and victims and raise awareness about the issue. Inspired by the action carried out in Canada, the forget-me-not has been adopted as a symbol for Missing Children's Day in Europe.

The celebrations were organised in the frame of the Missing Children Europe - European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children, which consists of 21 European NGO's.

This year, among the Federation members who actively contributed to the celebrations, were:

• ITAKA Center for Missing People, Poland
• Nadace Nase Dite, Czech Republic
  
• Kék Vonal, Hungary
  
• Salvati Copiii, Romania
