The network "A Cry for Life" organized the third
seminar on human trafficking in Tabatinga, a region on the border between
Brazil, Peru and Colombia. The seminar addressed the 'procedures to be followed
in trafficking situations, relevant agencies and referrals to be taken in each
of the border countries working against trafficking.’
The event was organized by the religious sisters: Sr. Eurides
Alves de Oliveira and Sr. Roselei Bertoldo, regional coordinators of the
Brazilian Network against Human Trafficking.
"A Cry for Life" had a total of 72 participants from the three
countries.
Each representative shared the reality of trafficking, actions
against trafficking, and the challenges they face to strengthen a safety net
across the border. The result was a schedule of preventive activities which
will mainly take place in schools.
Since 2012, the network of 'A Cry for Life' has been working
on education to lower the levels of vulnerability of children in border areas
of the Amazon. And the work against this crime requires joint efforts and ongoing
education; only then can we cope with the challenges and the complexity of the
phenomenon of human trafficking in the region.
It is worth mentioning that the network 'A Cry for Life' and
Red Kawsay form part of the larger International Network 'Talitha Khum,'
networks of religious life against trafficking.
