The Forgotten International

The Forgotten International is an effort on the part of Professor Thomas A. Nazario at the University of San Francisco School of Law. 

Over the past 30 years Professor Nazario has worked in a variety of ways to help identify the needs and defend the rights of children, not only here in the United States, but world-wide.  In doing so he has visited children who have been orphaned by AIDS in Botswana, imprisoned in jails in Rwanda, lived in sewers in Romania, sold into sexual slavery in Thailand, and escaped oppression in Tibet only to live in poverty as refugees in India and Nepal.

This initiative is largely the result of his international work with the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, and Human Rights Watch.

The Forgotten International is in part the result of meeting these children and others like them throughout the world who would not survive but for the kindness and generosity of others.
