Next September in Paris, the exhibition will take place Want a childalready named Love for childrenThe show is accused of allowing foreign companies that offer surrogacy to find and approach the French market, even though “intermediation with a view to surrogacy” is a crime under French law.

Aude Mirkovic, lecturer in private law and criminal sciences, spokesperson and legal director of the association. Lawyers for children (JPE) presents its group which takes legal actions to enforce the International Convention on the Rights of the Child and informs the elected authorities. He explained to us the steps we have taken over the years to ban this exposure or, at the very least, to prevent the arrival of GPA dealers.

“Courts, including the Court of Cassation, turn a blind eye to GPA when it is done abroad. » laments Aude Mirkovic, who explains that it is still very easy to chase foreign companies coming to approach France to give them subcontractors. Indeed, the latter work in the afternoon.

“These criminals are guilty. They are bragging about what they are accused of. (…) They said ‘yes, we offer to put you in contact with a surrogate mother, in America, Canada, Ukraine. Here’s the catalog we have…'”blame the speaker for Lawyers for children.

“The problem is that the prosecutors have closed the complaints. », he cried.

Last year, however, thanks to the action of JPE and other activists, the companies that sold GPA were removed from the exhibition system. However, the group suspects that this type of service is still being offered, more wisely.

But in 2024, the arrival of companies like Fertility Institute of San Diego for example, declare. However, a quick look at the website of this institution shows that it offers, among other things, undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The actions of women’s belly renters and child traffickers can be really shocking in their unbridled criticism.

“A few years ago, we have videos, we have tapes, of what customers asked the sales team at the Feskov hospital in Ukraine when they saw different offers (…)witness Aude Mirkovic. Among premium offers, there is a surgical offer that guarantees a healthy baby. (…) The seller, with a big smile, explained that, ‘It’s very simple, if the child is not with you, if he is sick, if he is disabled, he will go to the orphanage and we will give you a second GPA for free’ ».

Lawyers for children therefore fight to apply French law and that finally “A lawyer does his job”.
