Part 2 of 2 - Child Abduction in South Africa

In part 1 of the Stolen Girl Companion podcast we delved into the real-life case of Maureen Dabbagh and her daughter, Nadia, who was abducted and taken to Syria by her father in the 90s. In this 2nd and final part of the podcast we talk about the reality of child abduction in South Africa and what we can do to prevent it. I'm joined by Bianca van Aswegan of Missing Children South Africa for grassroots insights on this terrifying scourge.

The brand-new release movie based on this real-life story, Stolen Girl, is out in cinemas now. This companion podcast is brought to you by Filmfinity.
