July 30 each year marks the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons with this year's theme"Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking." Sister Abby Avelino, International Coordinator of Talitha Kum - the International network against Human Trafficking - says urgent action is needed to protect the most vulnerable groups.Every year, on 30 July, Talitha Kum joins the annual United Nations campaign for the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as other ongoing conflicts, have led to increased risks of abuse at various levels. Children who are unaccompanied or separated from their families, including those evacuated from childcare facilities, are particularly vulnerable. Another trend, according to the Global Slavery Index 2023 report is ‘orphanage trafficking,’ described as the recruitment of children into residential care institutions for profit and exploitation.
Pope Francis encourages us to open our eyes and ears:"It is essential to listen to those who are suffering. I think of the victims of wars and conflicts, those affected by climate change, those forced to migrate, and those, especially women and children, who are exploited sexually or in the workplace.
