INTERNATIONAL WEBINARS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING
IN THE LIGHT OF THE 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF “LAUDATO SI”
AND OF THE NEW “FRATELLI TUTTI” ENCYCLICAL

Religions take an important role in denouncing human trafficking, in protecting, rescuing and rehabilitating victims: Religious Leaders (“Joint Declaration of Religious Leaders Against Modern Slavery”, Rome, 2 December 2014) and religious congregations take a large part in the fight against modern slavery.

This webinar will present:

- the “Pastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking” proposed by Pope Francis and The Migrants & Refugees Section of the Vatican after a consultation with church leaders, academics and practitioners and partner organizations working in this field;
- the assessment of the present situation and proposals of representatives of Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths in order to promote action at the international, regional and national levels.
