WUCWO joins the International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking

On Thursday, February 8, the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisations (WUCWO) will partner in the International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking. This day, organized by Talitha Kum, aims to make a joint effort to raise awareness and combat a scourge that, to this day, remains prevalent. Talitha Kum, the international network of religious sisters committed to the fight against trafficking, aims to raise awareness in society about this serious violation of human rights. That's why we encourage WUCWO members to also participate in this moment of prayer and reflection.

Each of us is invited to participate. How?
