On July 30th is the World Day Against Human
Trafficking. We, the Congregational Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Office join the international UN Campaign against human trafficking which is called, "I Give Hope." You can
participate in this campaign! Take a
picture of yourself with a blue heart.
This way we will be showing our solidarity with all those caught in
human trafficking and we are committing ourselves to work for a society that
honors human dignity. Please, send us your photo: jpic.office@amormeus.org
On May 27, 2015, we announced publicly that
as the Congregation of Sisters of
Charity of the Incarnate Word of San Antonio, moved by our mission to actualize
the compassionate and saving love of the Incarnate Word by promoting human dignity,
“we affirm the dignity and rights of all persons and denounce human trafficking
and those economic systems and societies that promote it.”
So we continue to support
initiatives and programs that instruct and organize groups to take effective
actions to eliminate human trafficking; promote a sustainable and equitable
development to ease extreme poverty; adn rescue, support, and reintegrate in
society the victims of human trafficking.
We oppose practices that take advantage of
people while seeking wealth and/or pleasure; destroy the environment, thus eliminating opportunities for income and
contributing to forced migration.
We remind ourselves that in order to end
the crime of human trafficking we will all need to work together; and so, as
Congregation, we united with other persons or groups to eliminate the causes
and profitable markets for this crime; and help victims to recover and develop
in mind, body and spirit.
Nowadays, we are working with Red Kawsay
Peru (Consacrated Life against human trafficking ) and the US sisters against
Human Trafficking.
