Pope Francis recalls that Sunday July 30 marks two UN World Days: the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons and International Friendship Day. He calls everyone to work to stop the exploitation of persons through human trafficking while praying for all those in the fight against trafficking.
Pope Francis decries human trafficking's 'disfiguring' of human dignity, in a video message released for the 9th World Day of Prayer and Reflection against Human Trafficking, marked in the Catholic Church on the feast of St. Josephine Bakhita.
