"November 2nd has always been painful for us. We ask ourselves how they died, what happened, how often they asked for help, where their bodies are. We are always asking the missing person these questions inside our heads"

From 21 to-23 November 2023, approximately 700 families of missing persons from all over the world came together to share their experiences and gain inspiration.

Three days of multilingual sessions tackled the most critical challenges faced by families around the world (how to make the issue visible, and advocate for their needs, how to search for their loved ones and associated risks and how to live through the multifaceted needs families face when a loved one goes missing (emotional support needs, but also economic, administrative and memorialization needs).
