8 February 2024 – Feast of St Josephine Bakhita Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking.”Journeying in Dignity: Listen, Dream, Act”
“I greet the young people of many countries who have come for the World Day for Prayer and Reflection against Human Trafficking, which will be celebrated on 8 February, memorial of Saint Josephine Bakhita, the Sudanese religious sister who was enslaved as a child. Today too, many brothers and sisters are deceived with false promises and are then subjected to exploitation and abuse. Let us all join to counter the dramatic global phenomenon of human trafficking.”
Angelus, 04.02.2024
The International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking was promoted by Pope Francis in 2015 and is celebrated every year on the feast day of St Josephine Bakhita, 8 February.
The primary objective of this Day is to create greater awareness of the phenomenon of human trafficking and to reflect on the situation of violence and injustice that affects so many people.
Another objective is to try to provide solutions to counter human trafficking through concrete actions.
As every year, we invite the CAs in the world to celebrate the World Day of Prayer and Reflection against Trafficking.
We ask you to send documentation of your activities, to be shared on social media and on the IFCA website.
