APWRATH

• APWRATH (Asia Pacific Women Religious Against Trafficking in Humans) was conceived in July 2007 during the follow up counter-trafficking course for religious sponsored by  the UISG and IOM in coordination with the Association of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines.  The religious were challenged on how could we possibly respond as a group to this growing issue of human trafficking.
• TALITHA KUM is the International Network of Consecrated Religious to counter act human trafficking. This is an offshoot of the International Congress of Religious in Network against trafficking two years ago in cooperation with the UISG, Rome.
