Pope: 'God bless those who work to fight against trafficking'
During the Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis recalled that on this day, July 30, we observe two World Days declared by the United Nations. The first, International Friendship Day underscores the importance of friendship between peoples and cultures, he noted.
“Trafficking is a terrible reality, affecting too many people: children, women, workers..., so many exploited people; all living in inhuman conditions and suffering indifference and rejection by society.” Pope Francis has spoken out strongly on the scourge of this reality often in the past, saying that"Human trafficking disfigures dignity. Exploitation and subjugation limit freedom and turn people into objects to use and discard. And the system of trafficking profits from the injustice and wickedness that oblige millions of people to live in conditions of vulnerability.”
ICMC members offer help and support to trafficking victims. They help generate awareness and resilience in vulnerable communities, and work to develop new partnerships and alliances to achieve longer-term change. The work takes place in a diverse range of national contexts around the world, from Argentina to Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Thailand, and South Africa, and at the international level.
