According to the International Labor Organization, there are currently more than 40 million victims of human trafficking and exploitation.<\/p>\n
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE SOLD AS SLAVES<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> Every year, millions of women arrive in Europe as victims of devious sexual exploitation schemes. Pope Francis has spoken out against the hypocrisy which affects this drama even more.<\/p>\n THERE'S A BUSINESS BEHIND HUMAN TRAFFICKING<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> The pope also says it is hypocritical to be scandalized without doing anything to solve the problem.<\/p>\n TAKING ACTION IS ESSENTIAL<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> WARNING AGAINST \u201cMERCHANTS OF HUMAN FLESH\u201d<\/p>\n This tragedy is often added to another: that of human trafficking, given that many migrants are victims of forced labor throughout their journey in search of a better future.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> VIOLATIONS OF FREEDOM ARE UNJUSTIFIABLE<\/p>\n Pope Francis lamented that at the root of this crime exists an egocentric individuality that sees others as merchandise.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> Pope Francis said \u201cevery choice contrary to the realization of God's plan in us is a betrayal of our humanity\u201d and that \u201cit is to take a descending ladder, to go to the lowest, to become animals.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<\/p>\n Translation: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 30, 2020.

\nIn the world, millions of people are sold as slaves, or beg for a bit of humanity, a moment of affection; they set sail or set out on the journey because they have lost everything, starting with their dignity and their own rights.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThere are entrepreneurs who hire young people for slave labor, or take them. There are consumers who approach girls, who are not free, but are slaves, because when those girls return to their boss' house\u2014we can call him the mafia boss\u2014they must pay him a certain amount every day.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMay each and every one of us feel committed to be a voice of our brothers and sisters whose dignity is being humiliated.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI want to thank those who work with migrants by helping them and supporting them through these difficult moments, and by defending them against those who Blessed Scalabrini described as 'merchants of human flesh,' who want to enslave migrants.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nHuman trafficking constitutes an unjustifiable violation of the freedom and dignity of victims, the constitutive dimension of the human being willed and created by God. It must therefore be considered a crime against humanity. Without a doubt, without a doubt.<\/em><\/p>\n
