On Thursday, 12th December 2013 at the Clementine Hall, Pope Francis received Ambassadors who were newly accredited to the Holy See. On the occasion of the presentation of the letters of credence, Pope Francis addressed to them the problem of human trafficking. “Such trafficking is a true form of slavery, unfortunately more and more widespread, which concerns every country, even the most developed. It is a reality which affects the most vulnerable in society: women of all ages, children, the handicapped, the poorest, and those who come from broken families and from difficult situations in society”.

Three women have been “rescued” from a south London house as police investigate claims they were held as slaves for about 30 years.
Last month officers were contacted by Freedom Charity after it received a call from a woman saying she had been held against her will for decades.
A Malaysian woman, 69, an Irish woman, 57, and a British woman, 30, were rescued from the house on 25 October.
A 67-year-old man and woman were held in Lambeth and bailed until January.

Traffickers are increasingly looking on the internet to find their next victims. So many people are now turning to the internet as a way to find friendship, love and work that the traffickers are tapping into these recruitment methods to try and get many young people to become their next victim.
Beware of all types of predators on the internet. Any offer of love, work or friendship must be treated with a great deal of mistrust until you have fully researched :
– who the person is you are talking with online
– who else has things to say about them on the internet that can prove they are trustworthy
NEVER go to meet your new contacts you have met online alone – always take an adult with you to help determine how genuine they are.
NEVER go to meet your new contacts you have met online without telling someone else about the meeting including who you are meeting, where you are meeting and any other background information you know about this person.

Beware of offers of well-paid jobs in other countries.
There is a good chance the job may well turn you into a trafficking victim.
Very often a person you trust will introduce you to the traffickers. This could be a relative, a family friend, or someone you know from school or college.
