"The Hague Mothers will explore how international custody mechanisms intended to prevent child abduction can, in some cases, expose women and children to further danger."
"The story behind 'The Hague Mothers' is of a profound injustice in the Canadian court system and reveals glaring flaws in the way we deal with survivors of domestic violence."
Jordan Michael Smith has been awarded the Michener-Deacon Fellowship for Investigative Journalism for his project titled 'The Hague Mothers.' This investigation will address a loophole in the Hague Convention that can result in children being returned to potentially abusive parents. The case of Thuy Nguyen, a Canadian woman whose children were ordered back to their father in Poland, will be a focal point. The project aims to reveal how international custody mechanisms can sometimes endanger women and children instead of protecting them.
