Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began Russia has stolen at least 19,546 Ukrainian children have been stolen by Russia, with numbers likely to be far higher. It is a systemic mass abduction campaign with the aim of wiping out Ukraine's future identity. It is a clear example of genocide.

We want the campaign to be as impactful as possible, so we can advocate effectively for the return of Ukraine's children. However, this will only be possible with your support. Please do consider donating to us, as every penny will make a difference.
