WHAT IS YOUR 'SLAVERY FOOTPRINT'?

 

Did you know that slavery is still a problem, even here in the U.S.?  The U.S. government has led the fight against human trafficking with a policy of preventing trafficking, protecting victims and prosecuting traffickers. Catholic Relief Services has addressed the issue with more than 145 projects around the world. Catholics have the opportunity to urge our leaders to combat human trafficking by enforcing transparency in corporate supply chains. Together, we can work toward eradicating human trafficking.   Visit these websites to learn about which goods may be products of forced or child labor, then make personal changes and invite your parish, school, or work community to join the effort to end human trafficking: Slavery Footprint ( http://slaveryfootprint.org), and CRS Ethical Trade ( http://ethicaltrade.crs.org/)
