RENATE Mission Statement
RENATE, in partnership with the Church, state, and civil society, is dedicated to addressing human trafficking and exploitation. Our mission is to rehabilitate victims, help end labor exploitation, slavery, and forced organ harvesting, and tackle the root causes of systemic injustice that fuel this horrific trade. We work to strengthen communication and cooperation between countries of origin, transit, and destination, ensuring victims receive protection, legal documentation, and opportunities for reintegration. Additionally, we educate society, especially youth, on the unacceptability of human trafficking and advocate for stronger legislation that protects victims and holds perpetrators accountable. Through collaboration with the media, we raise awareness and denounce all forms of trafficking and exploitation.
