Stand Against Human Trafficking

The Catholic Church describes human trafficking as an affront to the God-given dignity of the human person. The Church stands resolutely against this modern-day slavery, which affects people in the United States and around the world. The Church in the United States educates about and advocates for an end to trafficking in the US and also addresses root causes of human trafficking globally.    

These resources can be used to help faith communities learn about and work to eradicate human trafficking:
