Join Us in Prayer to End Human Trafficking

At RENATE, we believe in the power of prayer to transform hearts and bring an end to the injustice of human trafficking. No matter your faith tradition or where you are in the world, you are invited to stand with us in prayer—because together, our voices are stronger.

Whether you set aside a few minutes each day, week, or month, your prayers are a powerful force for change. You can pray alone, with your community, in your parish, or with those around you. By lifting our hearts in unity, we call upon God’s grace to heal, protect, and renew.

Join us in this sacred mission. Let us pray that God, the only One who can truly transform hearts, will bring an end to exploitation and suffering.

Pope Francis on Human Trafficking

The 11th International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking took place on February 8, 2025. This day is observed annually on February 8, the feast day of St. Josephine Bakhita, the patron saint of human trafficking survivors.

In his message for the 11th International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of hope and collective action in eradicating modern slavery. He stated, “With the help of God, we can avoid becoming accustomed to injustice and ward off the temptation to think that certain phenomena cannot be eradicated.” He encouraged targeted initiatives to weaken and oppose the economic and criminal mechanisms that profit from trafficking and exploitation.

The Pope also highlighted the significance of prayer and unity, urging everyone to trust in the intercession of St. Josephine Bakhita. He said, “Together—trusting in the intercession of St. Bakhita—we can make a great effort and create the conditions for trafficking and exploitation to be banned and for respect for fundamental human rights to prevail, in fraternal recognition of common humanity.”

He concluded with a blessing and a request for mutual prayer: “Go forth with hope in the Lord, who walks with you! I bless you from my heart. I pray for you, and you pray for me.”

These messages underscore Pope Francis’s call for faith-driven efforts and communal solidarity in the fight against human trafficking.
