Children's Rights Network of Japan

The Children's Rights Network disseminates information to help change attitudes and laws in Japan in order to assure all children of direct, meaningful and continuing contact with both parents, regardless of citizenship, marital status or gender. It wants to restore the rights of children in Japan with separated parents, such as in divorce, international parental abduction to Japan, parental kidnapping within Japan and birth out of wedlock. The Japan Children's Rights Network has a large collection of English language information on Japanese Family Law which provides experienced-centric information on parental abduction, child custody, and visitation rights in Japan, and provides a web-based service to help children contact left-behind parents and document cases of parental abduction, denied visitation rights, discrimination, child abuse and other such activities in Japan.
