About
The FiLiA Hague Mothers’ Campaign (FHM)
FHM is a global campaign which aims to end the injustices created by The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, specifically for mothers and children who are victims of domestic abuse.
We are women-led and women-centred; a voluntary group of lawyers, academics, domestic abuse professionals, child psychologists, human rights and children’s rights activists, trauma specialists, and Hague mothers, all working to support and safeguard victim-survivors. The international sisterhood in action!
(Please note: we are unable to offer legal advice.)
