July 30th United Nations World Day Against Trafficking In Persons

“Human trafficking and similar forms of exploitation affect every country on earth. They flourish because of society's greed for cheap goods and services and because it is so easy to forget that those who meet these needs are human beings with their own innate God-given dignity.” Vincent Long Van Nguyen DD OFM Conv Bishop of Parramatta

This term the Year 10 students are learning about Catholic Social Teaching and the Church’s strong stance on preserving human dignity throughout the world. We are learning as consumers and as advocates that we each can be empowered to uphold human dignity. On the 30th June UN World Day Against Human Trafficking the CRC school community will remember our patron saint of victims trafficking people  St Josephine Bakhita, herself a former slave. We will  pray that the factors that lead to human trafficking such as poverty and lack of education will be addressed by our world leaders so we can eliminate this inhuman practice.
