The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is offering this grant to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). This grant is designed to assist left-behind parents who lack sufficient resources to travel internationally. Its core purpose is to enable these parents to attend Hague Convention hearings abroad and/or to accompany their children back to the United States for reunification. This initiative supports the Office of Justice Programs (OJP)’s commitment to aiding crime victims and increasing access to justice, focusing on families affected by international child abductions. It aims to reduce the financial barriers preventing parents from reuniting with their children across international borders.
