Fighting for my lost children

Available for over a year

A father who feels let down by the law is now fighting to change it. Julius Mwaka lost contact with his two daughters after they were abducted by their mother and taken to Uganda. Despite attempts to gain access to his children he was unable to convince the authorities to pursue his case. The recent death of one of his daughters has now inspired him to seek justice for fathers' rights. In this extract, the BBC's Joe Aldred and Nikki Tapper speak to Julius, his solicitor Rachel Toussaint, and Mark Smith who runs Daddy Gang, an organisation which helps fathers gain access to their children.
