Trafficking People and the Catholic Response

nat_bodyYou would probably be surprised if you knew how widespread a problem human trafficking is.

According to the USCCB, it is the fastest growing criminal industry.  That is why they are working along with Catholic Relief Services  to combat this modern day form of slavery. What may shock you more is that it doesn’t only happen overseas. It occurs within U.S. borders as well.

It’s a multi-layered topic, encompassing issues such as immigration, transportation and prostitution.  To find out more visit www.crs.org and www.usccb.org.
