This past Monday, July 30, was World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Many people took to social media to raise awareness and #EndHumanTrafficking.
Pope Francis joined the conversation with this video released on Instagram.
The Holy Father not only put a spotlight on this issue, but reminded everyone “of the duty to combat this abhorrent plague, a form of modern slavery.”
Will you step up to help #EndHumanTrafficking?
Whether it’s learning about an organization like kite.pride that gives victims of this trade a second chance or volunteering with a group like Destiny Hope, there are countless ways to get involved.
Even something as simple as spreading the word to raise awareness can be a way to live out that duty to stop human trafficking.
As Pope Francis reminded us in a tweet on Monday, “They are human beings and must be treated as such.”
