When you hear those stories, you can't forget. As a mother, it haunts you that you may be next. You question, if the justice even exists, if you could trust anyone at all in this world..
Mothers' Call documents testimonies of mothers who lost or are still fighting custody battles, who were separated from their children by using The Hague Convention law, who experienced different forms of violence from their ex-partners, institutions and who often listened their children cry out for help when they were abused, who had to give up everything to fight the battles that were never going to be won, simply because the justice system was never on their side.
