Abduction

A newborn Roma girl was kidnapped from a children’s home in Caserta, Italy, where she had been living for over a month, marking the fifth abduction in her family.

The girl’s siblings were previously taken by their parents to Romania due to severe neglect and poor living conditions, leading to a court ruling that separated them from their parents.

The case is being handled by lawyer Simona Molisso, who is calling for public assistance in locating the missing girl, emphasizing the urgency and violence of the situation.

Child Marriages

Child marriages, particularly in Roma communities in Montenegro, continue despite legal prohibitions, with many girls entering into arranged marriages as young as 12 or 14 years old.

Victims like Jasmina recount experiences of abuse and lack of agency, with decisions about their marriages made by male family members without their consent.

Organizations are working to combat child marriages, but many cases remain unreported due to societal pressures and the normalization of these practices within the communities.
