Pope Francis sent a message today to the Organisation for Security and
Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)'s 17th Alliance against Trafficking in
Persons Conference, taking place in Vienna. The message was read by Fr
Michael Czerny SJ, Under-secretary of the Migrants and Refugees Section
of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.
The
Holy Father called the problem "a form of slavery, a crime against
humanity, a grave violation of human rights, and an atrocious scourge"
and said that in some instances, "evidence brings one to doubt the real
commitment of some important players."
