Vatican City, 4 April 2014 (VIS) –
The second international conference on “Combating Human
Trafficking: Church and law enforcement in partnership” will take
place on 9 and 10 April in the Academy of Sciences in the Vatican.
The event is being organised by the
Bishops' Conference of England and Wales and is chaired by Cardinal
Vincent Nichols, archbishop of Westminster. There will be an audience
with Pope Francis at the close of the conference, where the Holy
Father will meet with victims and police chiefs.
From listening to the voices of the
victims, who will also be represented at the conference and able to
tell their stories to all delegates from both law enforcement
agencies and the Church, the Conference aims to bring police chiefs
together so they can build an effective network to combat trafficking
and work collaboratively with the Church. Closer collaboration will
also enable joint investigations between law enforcement agencies,
enabling a more co-ordinated international approach to rid the world
of the scourge of its second most profitable crime.
