Thank you to Georgia who is running (again) for Hostage International. All funds raised will help our essential work for families and former hostages affected by #kidnap or #arbitrarydetention. The work, sadly, continues to grow: justgiving.com/page/georgia-…
Today, this #MothersDay, as ever, we are here for families affected by #arbitrarydetention and #kidnaps. We want to highlight the extraordinary resilience and strength that we see in so many mums throughout #hostage situations.
Today March 9, is Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day in the US. We want to show our solidarity for everyone around the globe who is affected by #hostage situations including #arbitrarydetention. We are here to provide support and guidance. #HostageAndWrongfulDetaineeDay
Things do feel heavy at the moment, and many of those we support are desperately worried about their loved ones, but we are here. In order to ensure that we can continue our work, we have to raise funds and as such are holding an event in London, UK:
Celebrating #WorldBookDay and, in particular, many individuals who have gone on to write about their #hostage experience. If you're looking to learn more, or need a #bookclub idea, check out our book list. It's not comprehensive, but a start:hostageinternational.org/new…
A reminder that in these challenging times our expert team at Hostage International is here for the families and loved ones of #hostages and for those affected by #arbitrarydetention or #kidnapping. Please #share or contact us if you need hostageinternational.org

As the holiday period approaches - please spare a thought and give what you can to help our work in supporting former hostages and the loved ones of hostages #supportednotforgotten please #givegenerously hostageinternational.org
Today is the UN's International #HumanRightsDay. Too often we see people whose human rights have been stolen. When human rights are violated by #hostage situations including #kidnapping and #arbitrarydetention, we are here: hostageinternational.org/
For those affected by #hostage -taking, the holidays are a painful reminder of absence.
Throughout the world the moon and stars have symbolism for many, and for hostages and their families, the moon and stars often represent hope and light and a connection to loved ones.
This is a moving film and we were honoured to be a small part of it. Thank you @FreeNazanin @FreeAnoosheh for helping to highlight our work and to director @EricaGornall & the team @DancingLedgeUK for inviting us to the screening. #storytelling
It's #GivingTuesday! One family member, whose loved one was taken hostage, recently highlighted how we supported them throughout their ground-shifting crisis:
"I felt heard and that my caseworker was with me. I didn't feel alone." hostageinternational.org/don…
