Priorities

Our two overriding priorities are to help surviving families stay together, and to obtain information about their missing family members.

As the voice of the families, we work to:

  • persuade responsible officials to release any information they have concerning missing persons
  • reform national laws to obtain justice for women with families to support
  • establish support mechanisms to provide long-term emotional healing for grieving family members
Our longer-term objective is to introduce new international and national legal reforms that address numerous aspects regarding the issue of missing individuals from a family perspective. Such reforms include the creation of legal standing for the surviving families of members whose death cannot be proved; the facilitation to access family funds; and to create official support mechanisms for social and economic family requirements.
