This week, ICAV was invited as part of the Identity Rights Working Group, co-chaired by the Institute of Statelessness and Inclusion and Child Identity Protection to present to the UNCRC Committee.
My 5 minute talk focuses on actions needed to restore identity for intercountry adoptees.
Huge thanks to Child Identity Protection for the ongoing engagement and opportunity and to the UNCRC Committee for their time and commitment to listen and hear our voices.
