On Line Pilgrimage of Prayer and Events- 8 February 2023.

On 8th February 2023, we are all invited to participate in the 9th edition of the International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking, promoted by the International Union of Superiors General (UISG). The International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking takes place via an online Marathon of Prayer (The International Day of Prayer and Awareness against human trafficking (preghieracontrotratta.org)).

“Journeying in dignity” is the 2023 edition theme chosen by a team of young people from partner organizations. This theme calls us to journey in dignity against human trafficking, keeping as a horizon the dignity of every person, leaving no one behind. The following are a number of ways in which we all can participate
