Religious and priests from Tacna, Puno,
Cusco, Chimbote, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Piura, Chulucanas, Tarapoto, Yurimaguas,
Pucallpa, Iquitos and Lima met from June 16-18 in the Retreat House of the
College of Jesus in Pueblo Libre to celebrate the IV national meeting of the
network Kawsay- consecrated life for a society free of human trafficking.
In the framework of the "Year of Mercy" and the example of the "Good Samaritan" in the Gospel of Luke, the 52 participants reaffirmed our commitment to approach with critical compassion and transformation this expression of violence that, because of its persistence and impact, should be considered a crime against humanity, because it is a socially corrosive phenomenon in the construction of a society of human rights.
Although in recent years this topic has been highlighted in the media, the outrage at its growth is not seen. And it is the tolerance of human trafficking and the accompanying corruption which guarantees this criminal activity a "sustainable economy," such that Peru has become the third highest country with the most victims in Latin America.
At the end of the meeting a declaration was issued which reaffirms the conviction of listening to God where life cries out and putting resources from communities of consecrated life to use for people in situations of human trafficking.
