The Crime, Justice and Punishment Research Cluster was delighted to host a screening of the powerful and moving documentary ‘Bulgaria’s Abandoned Children’ on Thursday 9th March 2023.
This critically acclaimed documentary follows the fate of 75 abandoned children in the Social Care Home in the village of Mogilino, Bulgaria.
It shows how institutional care can lead to neglect and the destruction of the lives of children with disabilities. The documentary is an eye-opener for all human rights advocates, and it pushes us to ask: why are these abuses happening, and what can we do to stop them?
After the screening, one of the documentary’s creators, Dr. Janos Fiala-Butora (pictured below) from the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at the University of Galway, lead a lively discussion with attendees.
