Some Brigidine Sisters are already actively engaged in awareness raising, advocacy about this issue and/or being a companion to survivors of trafficking.
Other Sisters bring their gift of prayer to support those working to bring an end to all forms of trafficking and for children, women and men vulnerable to being exploited and trafficked.
