OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS Mexican bishops: Do not grow indierent to the plague of human tracking BY CATHOLIC NEWS AGENCY T he Catholic bishops of Mexico encouraged the faithful in the country not to become indiˆer- ent to the suˆering of human traœcking victims, but to take action to fight cor- ruption and exploitation. "We cannot accept exploitation, we cannot grow accustomed to the suf- fering. Let us denounce exploitation! Because as long as human traœcking remains hidden, the traœckers will continue to act with impunity," the Mexican Bishops' Conference said in a statement on its website. The statement, released for World Day Against Human Traœcking on July 31, asked Catholics to pray for those who are suˆering exploitation and to boldly "denounce corruption and complicity." Traœcking has many forms, the Catholic bishops said, including pros- titution, slavery, forced servitude, organ removal, forced marriage, and illegal adoption. They noted that the majority of traœcking victims — some 70% — are women and girls, who are mainly traf- ficked for sexual exploitation. While the Mexican state has voiced its commitment to fighting human traœck- ing through prevention, protection and prosecution, the bishops said a coordi- nated response is needed, with collabo- ration among churches, the media, busi- nesses, and other leaders of civil society. Catholics should be aware of the phenomenon "and how it operates in order to be able to intervene."
