President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca has been appointed on the Patron’s Council of ‘Missing Children Europe’ led by Queen Paola of Belgium. 

Missing Children Europe is the European federation for missing and sexually exploited children. It represents a network of 30 NGOs in 25 countries in Europe.

Each year, well over 250,000 children slip through the net of child protection systems in Europe as they go missing following a wide range of situations of conflict, violence and abuse. Missing Children Europe wishes to contribute to the creation of child protection systems capable of addressing these issues.
