Human trafficking entraps men and women and even boys and girls in a form of slavery that is a transnational scourge. It is one of the largest criminal industries in the world and is the fastest-growing crime today.
Victims come from every continent and are trafficked within and to every continent. Asia is notorious as a hotbed of trafficking.
The men and women, boys and girls abducted or otherwise forced to become commodities are individuals, not numbers. Christians know that they are our sisters and brothers.
Knowing that, Christians around the world struggle against the sin of trafficking and try to bring freedom, justice, healing and hope to its victims.
In this latest series, UCA News reporters will introduce us to the problem, its victims, and the efforts of those who shine the light of the Gospel on what the Vatican calls “these varied and brutal denials of human dignity.”
Even though it is really hard to cover such stories from different Asian countries, our team is always ready to take up new challenges to bring these worthy stories to the global audience. A lot of hard work goes into the making of these interesting series, and we are proud that our readers are enjoying them to the fullest.
