battered mothers and their children fleeing to the

Convention cases, </B></SPAN><SPAN
style="COLOR: black">The National Institute
of Justice recently released<I> </I>a report
focusing on battered mothers and their children
who, fleeing violent partners by crossing
international borders, are subsequently charged
with child abduction under the Hague
Convention on the Civil Aspects of International
Child Abduction ("Hague Convention"). The
Hague Convention can force a battered mother and
her child to return to the country she was
fleeing, thereby returning the victim to her
abuser and possibly heightening her danger. The
purpose of this research is to improve legal
responses to intimate partner violence,
particularly within diverse communities. To read
