Anti-Trafficking News from LCWR Boston Unit

Two weeks ago the Anti-Trafficking Coalition of the Boston Unit of LCWR offered its third symposium on Human Trafficking. This symposium has been explained in previous blog posts. If you write in "Trafficking" in the search box in the upper left corner of this blog site, all the previous posts on the topic will come up.

Last Friday, The Allston-Brighton Tab, our local area paper, published an article on the symposium titled: Sisters of St. Joseph symposium focuses on helping victims of human trafficking . The Sisters of St. Joseph were not the only sponsor of this symposium. The Anti-Trafficking Coalition  of The Boston Unit of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious includes sixteen Congregations representing over a thousand women religious in the greater Boston area. These are the people who sponsored the event.

The reporter who came to do this article also has her own blog and has linked to the symposium. Her blog is called: Meena Does the News. She's the same reporter who came to our Anti-Trafficking Prayer Vigil back in January. The picture at the right is Meena [far right] interviewing, a panelist and Sister Carole who facilitated the panel. We're grateful to Meena for her support in raising awareness of human trafficking.
