Bucarest dénonce la disparition de mineurs roumains hospitalisés en France.

Les autorités de Bucarest ont indiqué vendredi 27 février avoir dénoncé la disparition d’enfants roumains pris en charge par des associations pour être hospitalisés en France, et dont les parents seraient sans nouvelles depuis des années.

La secrétaire d’Etat, chargée de la protection de l’enfance, Gabriela Coman a en effet déclaré devant une commission parlementaire que des enfants de Roumanie, qui ont été envoyés en France pour des traitements médicaux en 1997 et 1998 ne sont plus jamais revenus dans leur pays.

Adoption from Nepal is beginning to look like trafficking

A NEPALI TIMES INVESTIGATION

In the cramped Anamnagar office of an adoption broker and his dusty orphanage in Ratopul, Nepali Times this week made arrangements to buy a child for adoption.

We posed as a British couple wishing to adopt a Nepali child and were told that the process was complicated and involved eight government offices and agencies. The broker said he could take care of the entire process for a $1,500 fee. If we decided to adopt from his orphanage, a further donation of $5,000 was strongly suggested.

Although he initially insisted on up-front cash of a third of his fee, he agreed to take a cheque for just over half the total amount. Immediately after we agreed to pay, he said he had just met a family from his village who wanted to put up for adoption a child the age we wanted. Earlier, he had said it could take months to find a child as young as we were looking to adopt.

With four adoptive children, two of whom are physically disabled, the couple is extremely suitable to participate in the TV program. ,, When the people from Adoptie asked us if we wanted to cooperate, we immediately agreed. We want to tell everyone how difficult it is sometimes to adopt and raise a child, "says Christel Van de Voorde. "It is not just rose scent and moonshine."

02.03.07: Verenigde Naties omarmen nieuw Nederlands initiatief voor Weeskinderen Stichting World Initiative for Orphans in Den Haag, is na uitvoerige consultatie door het VN Comité voor de Rechten van het Kind in Geneve, gevraagd haar activiteiten in structurele samenwerking met de Verenigde Naties uit te bouwen. Het United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneve, als onderdeel van het Hoge Commissariaat voor de Mensenrechten, heeft in een verklaring van voorzitter Prof. J.E. Doek, de interesse tot strategische samenwerking met deze jonge Nederlandse stichting vastgelegd. World Initiative for Orphans plaatst zich hiermee samen met Unicef en ISS op het wereldniveau van NGO's die in publiek-private samenwerking bijdragen leveren aan armoedebestrijding en aan het bereiken van de Millenium Doelstellingen. Na haar oprichting (2004) heeft Stichting WIO zich, sinds januari 2006, mede op verzoek van de VN, geheel gericht op het organiseren van wereldwijde samenwerking t.b.v. alle kinderen zonder ouderlijke zorg. Deze kwetsbare groep van ruim 150 miljoen wees- en verlaten kinderen zal in de komende 5 jaar doorgroeien tot 250 miljoen. In 2015 zijn 400 miljoen jonge mensen direct/indirect benoembaar in deze groep. Zij hebben nauwelijks toegang tot scholing, voeding, medische zorg en liefde en zijn vaak bijzonder kwetsbaar voor misbruik/exploitatie, ontvoering en kinderarbeid. World Initiative for Orphans werkt wereldwijd, binnen de VN Kinderrechtenconventie (getekend door 193 VN Lidstaten), aan praktische en snel inzetbare doch academisch onderbouwde oplossingen voor wees- en verlaten kinderen (4 alternatieven). In een unieke vrijwillige samenwerking van verantwoordelijke overheden, ervaren hulpverleners en academici uit de gehele wereld, worden, via onderzoek en een nieuw "eenvoudig kennisnetwerk", "best practices" uitgewisseld en ingevoerd. Oprichter/voorzitter Maarten Brekelmans is zeer verheugd over deze snelle en unieke internationale erkenning voor WIO's missie en pragmatische werkwijze. WIO is gevestigd in Den Haag en heeft medewerkers in 4 werelddelen. In Mei 2007 organiseert WIO het eerste wereldcongres over dit onderwerp in Den Haag. De maand mei 2007 is uitgeroepen tot World Orphan Month. WIO kent geen steun van de Nederlandse regering of andere fondsen.
