More than 100 members and supporters of the WA ACRATH community have last month come together, raising some $6000 towards supporting those affected by modern slavery.
Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans (ACRATH) launched its annual appeal on 30 July 2021 intending to restore dignity and bring hope to people who have been trafficked or enslaved.
Given the year the world has endured with the pandemic, Catholic Mission’s 2020 Christmas Reflection event titled ‘the slave is my sister, the slave is my brother’ drew on the darker yet hope-giving side of the Christmas narrative, focussing on the experience of those who are marginalised, oppressed and vulnerable in the world today.
