Collaboration with Sisters on Human Trafficking

Recognizing the extraordinary service Catholic Sisters provide to vulnerable people worldwide, working alongside men religious, close to the Global Solidarity Fund’s heart is the ambition to further empower Sisters as agents of change in global development. We have established a strong relationship with the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), the largest umbrella group of leaders of women’s congregations, representing more than 700,000 Sisters around the world. A leading example of our collaboration is our work with Talitha Kum, a network of Sisters hosted by UISG and acting in 90 countries to stop human trafficking.
