Roelie Post (1959) is a civil servant of the European Commission since 1983.

From 1999 until 2005 she was charged to support Romania in its efforts to reform their child protection system. Due to pressure from outside and inside the EU she was no longer able to work inside the European Commission on children’s rights. As a result, the European Commission seconded her to Against Child Trafficking (ACT).

She is the author of ‘Romania for Export Only – the untold story of the Romanian ‘orphans’ (2007).

The German TV movie ‘Suche Kind, Zahle Bar’ (2008) from Golineh Atai was based on her book. The movie received the 2010 media prize of Stiftung Kindernothilfe in November 2010.

Roelie is a graduate of the Amsterdam University, where she studied political science.
