About me
Patrícia Álvares is a journalist and translator with expertise in international news, human rights, and content strategy. Since 2005, she has lived across Latin America and Europe, working in English, Spanish, and Portuguese at outlets such as CBN Radio (Brazil), Deutsche Welle (Germany), Agencia EFE (Uruguay), and others.
In 2022, she started investigating an international law limbo between human rights and the 1980 Hague Convention, affecting almost 2,000 foreign mothers and over 2,500 dual-citizenship kids a year across the world. The tragic stories (un)covered and the lack of information on the outcomes for children found in the hague papers network of journalists not only opportunities for cross-borders collaborations, but also a way to cope.
