Italian religious, Sr Eugenia Bonetti, President of the
Association "Slaves no more", is entrusted with preparing the
reflections for Good Friday at the Colosseum.
Meditations for the “Way of the Cross” this year will be
dedicated to the suffering of victims of human trafficking. Pope Francis has
entrusted the preparation of the texts for the “Via Crucis” on Good Friday, to
Sr Eugenia Bonetti, a Consolata missionary and President of the Association
"Slaves no more". The announcement was made by the "ad
interim" Director of the Press Office of the Holy See, Alessandro Gisotti,
on Friday.
Slaves no more
The Association “Slaves no more” was founded in December
2012, by a group of religious and lay people involved in the fight against
human trafficking and in protecting victims of the same. The Association’s
President, Sr Eugenia Bonetti, has been dealing with this phenomenon, that
involves thousands of girls, many of them migrants, for over twenty years.
Networking
In a recent interview with Vatican Radio, Sr Bonetti
explained the importance of “preventing and combatting violence against women”,
along with the phenomenon of trafficking, “by networking with other groups, organizations
and associations, both in Italy and abroad”. Trafficking in human beings is a
phenomenon that “affects several countries of origin, transit and destination,
with which we would like to intensify contacts and collaboration”, she said.
