European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children (Missing Children Europe) (MCE)
EU Transparency Register
11823899666-63 First registered on 10 Oct 2012
Goals / Remit
Missing Children Europe is the European Federation for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children connecting 32 grassroot organisations in 27 countries across Europe. Missing Children Europe aims to prevent that children go missing, and to protect children from any violence, abuse or exploitation that leads to or results from them going missing. Established in 2002, Missing Children Europe has accumulated 20 years of experience in research, training, advocacy and awareness raising. Missing Children Europe coordinates the network of 116 000 hotlines for missing children, a dedicated service for children (at risk of) going missing and their families; and the cross-border family mediators’ network that prevents and resolves parental abductions.
