May 25 is the day we remember children who are still missing and those who have been found and reunited with their families.
The main objective of this day is to encourage the population to think about all the children still missing in the world,
And to spread a message of hope and solidarity to parents who have no news and do not know where their child is or what has become of them.
The objective is also to reflect on the prevention strategies to be promoted among national institutions and to adopt in close collaboration with the public authorities in charge of education, social policy and justice.
May 25 is the International Day of Missing Children. For twenty-four hours, our thoughts will turn to those toddlers of whom we have no news. But for the parents of these young people, the anguish is continual.
Le 25 mai est la Journée internationale des enfants disparus. Pendant vingt-quatre heures, nos pensées se tourneront vers ces bambins dont nous sommes sans nouvelles. Mais pour les parents de ces jeunes, l’angoisse est continuelle.
