Catholic News Service reports:
Women religious from around the world have formed a global network aimed at combating human trafficking.
More than 30 nuns from 26 nations launched the initiative called the "International Network of Religious Against Trafficking in Persons" during a conference on human trafficking Oct. 15-19 in Rome.
The conference and training seminar were funded by the U.S. Department of State. The events were organized by the U.S. Embassy to the Vatican and the Italian Union of Major Superiors, which, together with the International Organization for Migration, designed the training program that helps foreign women flee forced prostitution.
There's more information about State Department-funded efforts in this area here. I have not yet found a description of this particular grant, however.
