Scourge of human trafficking

Speak­ing about reports of human traf­fick­ing, Car­di­nal Czerny said, “We’re very wor­ried about what is inevitable in these moments of con­flict and con­fu­sion which is the per­verse work of human traf­fick­ers and peo­ple seek­ing to enslave those who are so vul­ner­a­ble by false­ly offer­ing them help and then trap­ping them in a new problem.”

Dur­ing his trip, the Car­di­nal will affirm that reli­gious assis­tance should be offered to every­one, with sen­si­tiv­i­ty to ecu­meni­cal and inter­faith differences.

He will also be look­ing at the great need for coor­di­na­tion, good orga­ni­za­tion and shared strat­e­gy as the human­i­tar­i­an response con­tin­ues, in order to embrace people’s suf­fer­ings and pro­vide effec­tive relief.
