In 2012, the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross in India embraced their call to enter directly into the plight of trafficked persons and are now actively involved in anti-human trafficking projects throughout India.
Thus in 2008, the General Chapter of the Congregation of Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross dealt with the issue of human trafficking, particularly that of girls and women. Chapter delegates together analysed the issue and sought ways to counter this modern-day slavery and gross violation of human rights. To coordinate the activities in the Congregation, they formed a committee at the Generalate, in Ingenbohl in Switzerland, where the Congregation was founded.
Founding a common house in Delhi, with members from various Provinces in India, seemed to be the thing to do. There, a number of NGOs operate at various levels: prevention, rescue, rehabilitation, reintegration. In 2017, the Sisters began working with different NGOs under the guidance of a National coordinator. the New Delhi and Anand Vihar railway stations. “From 6 a.m. till 6 p.m., we go two-by-two looking for unaccompanied children”, Sister Regina explains.
Then, we speak to their parents and confirm whether they are aware of their children’s movements. If the children turn out to be from within or around the city, we hand them over directly to their parents. If not, we take them to the police station to be registered. Then they go through a medical examination and are placed in foster homes for home tracing. It gives us a lot of satisfaction and joy to see the children being reunited with their families.
