Intl. Association
The International Association of Former Child Migrants and their Families was launched in October 1997 to provide former Child Migrants world-wide with an organisation spearheaded by child migrants for child migrants. The Association represents the views and feelings of former Child Migrants and their families by actively campaigning for justice, for appropriate services and by taking part in relevant events like the International Conference on Child Migration, Parliamentary Inquiries and Political Apologies.
The journal of the Association, "International Focus" has been distributed to members world-wide to keep all former Child Migrants and their families up to date with current developments in relation to their search for recognition and justice.
In brief, the stated aims and objectives of the International Association of Former Child Migrants and their Families are:
1. To express and promote the common interests of former Child Migrants world-wide by virtue of their removal from their country of birth.
