TUCSON, AZ (November 27, 2009) - The Carmelite NGO is inviting people around the world to celebrate World Human Rights Day, December 10, 2009, by focusing on the plague of Human Trafficking. People are asked to reflect on what is happening, to pray for all the people involved, and to make some concrete commitment that will help improve the situation.
A booklet, created by the Carmelite NGO for this celebration, offers a series of reflections 1) helping to create and deepen in each one of us a spirituality of commitment to the defense of life and the recovery of the human dignity of so many sisters and brothers that suffer all the time from exclusion, purchase, prostitution, murder, and human trafficking; 2) getting people to think about more effective and extensive ways to overcome these problems and to build a more human way of living together, and; 3) offering material that is simple and practical to those who wish to use it in the meetings of people who are committed to this cause.
A booklet designed specifically for this day can be downloaded at carmelitengo.org, the website of the Carmelite NGO.
The Carmelite NGO is a non governmental organization which in September 2009 gained special status to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It is also affiliated in December 2001 to the Department of Public Information (DPI) of the United Nations. It is the representative body to the United Nations for the men and women around the world who are members of the Carmelite Order of the Catholic Church and the Order’s ministries.
