SUMMARY:Humans Are Not For Sale
DESCRIPTION:Pope Francis has declared the feast of St Josephine Bakhita\, 8
 th February\, to be the International Day of Prayer Against Human Traffick
 ing. Josephine Josephine Bakhita was born in 1869\, in a small village i
 n the Darfur region of Sudan. She was kidnapped while working in the field
 s with her family and subsequently sold into slavery.  In her later life 
 after she had been freed she was known to have said  “If I were to meet
  the slave-traders who kidnapped me and even those who tortured me\, I wou
 ld kneel and kiss their hands\, for if that did not happen\, I would not b
 e a Christian and Religious today.” Her story reminds us of the trauma a
 nd loss of dignity endured but ever trafficked person. As we mark her feas
 tday let us pray that we will be able to work against this crime against t
 he dignity of the person.\n\nAustralian Catholic Religious Against Human T
 rafficking (ACRATH) have a range of resources for individuals\, families\,
  groups and parishes to help in celebrating the day. http://acrath.org.au/
