The Hague Domestic Violence Project

This study aims to better understand the experiences of women who have fled from domestic violence situations to the U.S. and have been charged under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction.

The Hague Convention Study Seeks Volunteers:

• Are you a woman who fled from an abusive partner to the U.S. with your children and were then charged under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction?
  
  
• Are you an attorney who defended or pursued a Hague Convention international child abduction case involving domestic violence in a U.S. court?
  
  
• Are you a judge who has presided over a Hague Convention case involving allegations of adult domestic violence?
