SUMMARY:Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 25\, 2022\, will mark the Vatican’s 108th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. The Holy Father has chosen to entitle his annual Message “Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees\,” highlighting the commitment that we are all called to share in building a future that embraces God’s plan\, leaving no one behind. \n“Building with” means recognizing and promoting the role that migrants and refugees have to play in this work of construction\, because only in this way will it be possible to build a world that ensures the conditions for the integral human development of all. \nThe Message\, featuring six sub-themes\, will explore some essential components of how migrants and refugees are able to contribute – already now as well as in the future – to the social\, economic\, cultural\, and spiritual growth of societies and ecclesial communities. \nIn preparation for the celebration of the World Day this year\, the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development will launch a communication campaign starting at the end of March\, aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the theme and sub-themes of the Message through multimedia aids\, informational material\, and theological reflections. \nThe John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy joins in this celebration with various events. \n  \nMessage from His Holiness Pope Francis\n\n[nectar_cta btn_style=”see-through” heading_tag=”h6″ text_color=”#862633″ link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”center” text=”Continue Reading” url=”https://migrants-refugees.va/it/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/05/EN-world-migrants-day-2022.pdf”]  \nUpcoming Events\n\n  \n \nMass and Reception Honoring the 108th World Day of Migrants & Refugee\nMonday\, September 26\, 2022 | 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm\nIn partnership with Campus Ministry at St. Thomas University\, join us in-person for Mass to reflect and pray for migrants\, refugees\, host families\, and survivors of human trafficking as we commit ourselves to building a future with migrants and refugees.

These challenges\, together with the suggested Catholic Church responses\, constitute markers for a roadmap in pastoral planning for climate displaced people\, and\, with this document\, they extend the Pope’s pastoral concern to climate displaced people. \nDownload\n  \n  \n \nPastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People 2020\nPope Francis gives enormous importance to the plight of the millions of forgotten men\, women and children forced to migrate within their own countries and known internationally as internally displaced people (IDPs). In his 2020 greeting for the New Year to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See\, Pope Francis explicitly addressed the urgent needs of internally displaced people\, and his compassionate concern serves as an excellent introduction to the new Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People.  It is the purpose of the Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People to offer suggestions and guidance for action based on four verbs: welcome\, protect\, promote and integrate. \nDownload\n  \n \nTowards the Global Compacts on Migrants and on Refugees 2018\nThis booklet presents three documents which provide the teaching\, reflections and pastoral guidance of Pope Francis regarding the various issues concerning migrants and refugees. From the beginning of his pontificate\, using persuasive words and deeds\, Pope Francis has urged the Church to accompany all people who are compelled to leave their country. In 2017\, he established the Migrants and Refugees Section (M&R) to help him implement this pastoral objective. While M&R forms part of the new Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development under the direction of Cardinal Peter Turkson\, the Section is personally guided by the Holy Father for the time being.     \nDownload\n  \n \nPastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking 2018\nMillions of men\, women and children are trafficked and enslaved around the world. In 2018\, The Migrants & Refugees Section (M&R) held two consultations with Church leaders\, scholars and experienced practitioners and partner organizations working in the field. Participants exchanged experiences and viewpoints\, addressing relevant aspects of the phenomenon. The Church’s full response was considered\, and this six-months process resulted in the Pastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking\, which provides a reading of Human Trafficking and an understanding that motivate and sustain the much-needed long-term struggle. \nDownload\n  \nLaudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home\nPeople on the move due to weather and more aggravating circumstances of climate change are particularly vulnerable to exploitation of all sorts\, including human trafficking.  Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home is the appeal from Pope Francis addressed to “every person living on this planet” for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet.  Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. \nDownload\n  \n  \nWorld Migration Report 2020\nSince 2000\, IOM has been producing world migration reports. The World Migration Report 2020\, the tenth in the world migration report series\, has been produced to contribute to increased understanding of migration throughout the world. This new edition presents key data and information on migration as well as thematic chapters on highly topical migration issues\, and is structured to focus on two key contributions for readers: Part I: key information on migration and migrants (including migration-related statistics); and Part II: balanced\, evidence-based analysis of complex and emerging migration issues. \nDownload\n  \n\n  \nConvention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees\nThe 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol are the key legal documents that define international refugee protection. \nDownload\n  \n  \n  \nInternational Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families\nThe International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families is a United Nations multilateral treaty governing the protection of migrant workers and families.  The Convention sets out how to prevent abuses and address the challenges that migrant workers face. \nDownload\n  \nSocial Media Shareables\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Migration and Human Trafficking: Tracing Root Causes & Seeking Intensional Solutions
DESCRIPTION:In Person or Remote\n9:00 am – 3:15 pm\n\n\n \n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nWe live in unparalleled times. A war of aggression is in full display right before our eyes. It is followed by the most devastating humanitarian crisis in the heart of Europe since WWII\, with millions of Ukrainian refugees crossing international borders. Here at home\, the CBP Southwest border enforcement numbers for May 2022 alone marked 177\,793 unique encounters nationwide\, bringing the total to over 1 Million encounters since January.  Implications of such movement of people is the focus of this year’s Academy. In one intensive week of coursework\, the Academy examines the amassing refugee and migration crisis – as well as the dark underbelly it often brings along: an increase of criminal activity including human trafficking and human smuggling. Organized criminal activity is on the rise and its modus operandi is beyond the pale. This is a sign of our time. It is an ever-going saga of people on the move\, fleeing some disaster or dire poverty from every corner of our planet\, heading towards any place of hope. \nThe John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy invites you to be part of a learning experience like no other: an academic exercise on law and policy\, coupled with practical engagement in identifying and delving into the root causes of irregular migration\, its intersections with human trafficking\, past trends in decision\, and their conditioning factors. We invite you to dwell deep not only on the concepts\, but on the world that the concepts describe and represent. \nMeeting in-person at St. Thomas University College of Law in Miami\, the Academy challenges you to join us as agents with purpose who will commit to the tasks at hand. We seek change agents with comparable experiences and goals\, who understand human motivators behind the root causes and are boldly dedicated to exploring creative\, intensional solutions. \nThe Academy offers our solid track record of effective training on human trafficking\, having provided specialized training and technical assistance to over 15\,000 leaders and community members domestically and abroad. \nThe robust curriculum and the interactive working groups will be taught and facilitated by leading experts in the field\, who will provide cutting-edge perspectives and insights and share a wealth of experience and knowledge. This intensive certification program is best suited for those pursuing advanced training in migration and human trafficking matters\, but all are welcome to attend. \nJoin us in exploring the ways in the accompaniment of migrants to a decent living safe from exploitation\, and to peace through development as the true path to ending modern day slavery! \nRead about our most recent 2021 Academy here. \nA remote attendance option is available for those who cannot travel.* \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#efefef” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nREGISTRATION FEES\n\n\n\nStandard: $400\n(Deadline Extended: Wednesday\, July 20\, 2022)\n\nA 25% discount is available for\n(1) students with proof of valid student I.D.; or\n(2) organizations/institutions that register three or more participants. \n* Full Scholarships for Survivors of Human Trafficking * \nPlease contact us for further details at humantrafficking@stu.edu or 305-628-6688. \n \n \n \n\nCOURSE INFORMATION\n\n\n Curriculum  Schedule Instructors\n*Certificate Awarded by St. Thomas University College of Law.*\n29.5 CLE Credits approved by the Florida Bar.\n  \nFAQs Directions & Campus Map Hotel Info\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_position=”left” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner]\n  \n \n* The Academy strongly encourages all participants to attend the Academy in person at the St. Thomas University College of Law campus in Miami\, Florida.  However\, for those who cannot travel\, the Academy may be viewed remotely (materials will be provided electronically).  Please note that the remote format will be a livestream of the event only (no discussion boards) and must be viewed by remote participants in real time.  A link for the live sessions will be provided to online participants to view each course synchronously via Zoom (no recordings will be available once the live session has ended).  The ability to ask questions of instructors or directly participate in working groups will be unavailable for those who choose the remote attendance option.

SUMMARY:World Day Against Child Labor 2022: Webinar & Learning Page

SUMMARY:International Year for the Elimination of Child Labor 2021
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 218 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 are employed in work.  However\, 152 million of these children are victims of child labor\, including 73 million that work in hazardous child labor.[1] In recognition of this global plight of child labor\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 73/327 declaring the year 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour. \nWhat is Child Labor?\nAlthough there are many circumstances where young people may work in compliance with all applicable laws\, children are all too often exploited in child labor.  When children are exploited in child labor their health\, safety\, well-being\, morals\, and educational opportunities may be jeopardized.  Around the world\, child labor takes place primarily in agriculture (71%)\, which includes livestock herding\, forestry\, fishing and aquaculture\, and comprises both subsistence and commercial farming; services (17%); and the industrial sector\, including mining (12%).”[2] Almost half of child labor occurs in Africa (72 million children)\, followed by Asia and the Pacific (62 million).[3] \nIn 1999\, the General Conference of the UN International Labour Organization (ILO) adopted the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention.  This was the first ILO Convention to receive universal ratification and defined the worst forms of child labor as “all forms of slavery or practices similar to slavery\, such as the sale and trafficking of children\, debt bondage and serfdom and forced or compulsory labour\, including forced or compulsory recruitment of children for use in armed conflict; the use\, procuring or offering of a child for prostitution\, for the production of pornography or for pornographic performances; the use\, procuring or offering of a child for illicit activities\, in particular for the production and trafficking of drugs as defined in the relevant international treaties; [and] work which\, by its nature or the circumstances in which it is carried out\, is likely to harm the health\, safety or morals of children.”[4] \nSustainable Development Goal 8.7\nIn 2015\, all United Nations Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.  SDG Goal 8.7 seeks to eradicate forced labor\, end modern slavery and human trafficking\, and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labor\, including child soldiers by 2030.[5]  It also seeks to end child labor in all its forms by 2025.[6]  While our global community has made strides towards the elimination of child labor\, all individuals and stakeholders at every level are needed to take action and raise awareness on this issue. \nWhat Can You Do?\n\nEducate yourself on child labor around the world by reviewing the recommended resources below.\nBe a responsible consumer by buying products free of child labor.  Download ILAB’s Sweat & Toil App to avoid purchasing goods produced with child labor or forced labor.\nRaise funds for organizations working against human trafficking\, or make a tax-deductible donation to support the efforts of The John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy\, such as supporting an educational scholarship for survivors of human trafficking.\nAct\, inspire\, and scale up with a 2021 Action Pledge to end child labor during the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour at https://endchildlabour2021.org.\nShare your pledge to take action against child labor and the social media shareables online with the hashtag #EndChildLabour2021 and #HumanTraffickingAcademy on World Day against Child Labor on June 12\, and throughout the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour.\n\nResource Videos\n\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwdGl0bGUlM0QlMjJZb3VUdWJlJTIwdmlkZW8lMjBwbGF5ZXIlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGdklOSnJPT0liYUklMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjU2MCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjMxNSUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRCUyMmFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]\nChildren’s Issues: The Global Plight of Child Labor\nThis course addresses the background of child labor and the forms it takes abroad and in the United States.  This course was taught by Prof. Nora V.

Through a pragmatic approach that moves beyond the theoretical to actual hands-on application of skills in practice\, participants will gain a solid understanding of: \n\n\nVarious forms of human trafficking as well as identification in a health care setting. \n\n\nPhysical and mental health impacts including best practices for diagnosis and treatment through trauma-informed care. \n\n\nLaws\, regulations\, and ethical considerations including healthcare professionals participation in the legal process. \n\n\nIntersections in health and human trafficking such as COVID-19\, opioid addiction\, and trafficking of persons with disabilities. \n\n\nSurvivor perspectives\, multidisciplinary partnerships\, and integral development as a path to healing. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThe John J.

These challenges\, together with the suggested Catholic Church responses\, constitute markers for a roadmap in pastoral planning for climate displaced people\, and\, with this document\, they extend the Pope’s pastoral concern to climate displaced people. \nDownload\n  \n  \n \nPastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People 2020\nPope Francis gives enormous importance to the plight of the millions of forgotten men\, women and children forced to migrate within their own countries and known internationally as internally displaced people (IDPs). In his 2020 greeting for the New Year to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See\, Pope Francis explicitly addressed the urgent needs of internally displaced people\, and his compassionate concern serves as an excellent introduction to the new Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People.  It is the purpose of the Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People to offer suggestions and guidance for action based on four verbs: welcome\, protect\, promote and integrate. \nDownload\n  \n \nTowards the Global Compacts on Migrants and on Refugees 2018\nThis booklet presents three documents which provide the teaching\, reflections and pastoral guidance of Pope Francis regarding the various issues concerning migrants and refugees. From the beginning of his pontificate\, using persuasive words and deeds\, Pope Francis has urged the Church to accompany all people who are compelled to leave their country. In 2017\, he established the Migrants and Refugees Section (M&R) to help him implement this pastoral objective. While M&R forms part of the new Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development under the direction of Cardinal Peter Turkson\, the Section is personally guided by the Holy Father for the time being.     \nDownload\n  \n \nPastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking 2018\nMillions of men\, women and children are trafficked and enslaved around the world. In 2018\, The Migrants & Refugees Section (M&R) held two consultations with Church leaders\, scholars and experienced practitioners and partner organizations working in the field. Participants exchanged experiences and viewpoints\, addressing relevant aspects of the phenomenon. The Church’s full response was considered\, and this six-months process resulted in the Pastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking\, which provides a reading of Human Trafficking and an understanding that motivate and sustain the much-needed long-term struggle. \nDownload\n  \nLaudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home\nPeople on the move due to weather and more aggravating circumstances of climate change are particularly vulnerable to exploitation of all sorts\, including human trafficking.  Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home is the appeal from Pope Francis addressed to “every person living on this planet” for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet.  Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. \nDownload\n  \n  \nWorld Migration Report 2020\nSince 2000\, IOM has been producing world migration reports. The World Migration Report 2020\, the tenth in the world migration report series\, has been produced to contribute to increased understanding of migration throughout the world. This new edition presents key data and information on migration as well as thematic chapters on highly topical migration issues\, and is structured to focus on two key contributions for readers: Part I: key information on migration and migrants (including migration-related statistics); and Part II: balanced\, evidence-based analysis of complex and emerging migration issues. \nDownload\n  \n\n  \nConvention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees\nThe 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol are the key legal documents that define international refugee protection. \nDownload\n  \n  \n  \nInternational Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families\nThe International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families is a United Nations multilateral treaty governing the protection of migrant workers and families.  The Convention sets out how to prevent abuses and address the challenges that migrant workers face. \nDownload\n  \nVideos\n\n  \n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column]\nSocial Media Shareables\n\n  \n       \n\nIn partnership with\n\n

SUMMARY:Roundtable: The Intersection of Pornography and Sex TraffickingEvaluations in Public Health\, Social Work\, and Law
DESCRIPTION:The John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking is proud to host a Roundtable titled The Intersection of Pornography and Sex Trafficking: Evaluations in Public Health\, Social Work\, and Law.  This Roundtable is a cooperation between St. Thomas University School of Law’s Graduate Program in Intercultural Human Rights\, Barry University School of Social Work\, and Palm Beach State College School of Health Sciences. \nIn 2018\, the Florida House of Representatives passed House Resolution 157 (HR 157) with bipartisan support.  This Resolution recognized the public health risk created by pornography and cited that pornography “is related to the increased demand for sex trafficking\, prostitution\, and child pornography.”  During this Roundtable\, students and faculty from the three academic institutions will assess the various intersections between pornography and human trafficking through an interdisciplinary approach and discussion. \nStudents will hear from distinguished panelists from each of the cooperating academic institutions\, followed by a screening of Episode 3 of Brain Heart World\, a 3-part documentary on the harmful effects of pornography by Fight the New Drug.  Students will then participate in collaborative discussions on the issue from the perspective of public health\, social work\, and law. \n**This is an invitation-only event.**\nModerator\n\n \n  \nKutisha T.

SUMMARY:Solidarity with Seafarers Initiative 2021
DESCRIPTION:What is the Solidarity with Seafarers Campaign?\nThe John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy\, member of the Coalition of Catholic Organizations against Human Trafficking (CCOAHT)\, is proud to once again join the CCOAHT’s Annual Campaign that begins during Lent to raise Catholic awareness of forced labor in the fishing industry.[1] Due to the global pandemic\, a new humanitarian crisis has emerged that is severely impacting all men and women who work at sea. Thus in 2021\, CCOAHT – together with Stella Maris and the Apostleship of the Sea of the United States of America (AOS-USA) – are urging Catholics and all people of good will to pay witness to the life of the seafarer and leverage their voices as community members and consumers to uplift the safety and well-being of one of the world’s most invisible groups of essential workers. \nSeafarers and international shipping serve a critical role in maintaining global supply chains. This includes 90% of all goods\, inclusive of medical supplies\, food and energy.[2] Pope Francis has stressed that\, “without the people of the sea\, many parts of the world would starve.”  Despite the COVID-19 pandemic\, these essential workers continue to transport items essential for our survival. \nHowever\, COVID-19 has presented significant challenges on the global shipping industry to effect crew change and repatriate seafarers\, having an adverse impact on seafarers’ rights\, including fundamental principles and rights at work.  It has been estimated that hundreds of thousands of seafarers presently require immediate repatriation as they are beyond their original tours of duty\, in some cases for more than 17 consecutive months and often without access to shore-based leave and/or medical treatment.[3] \nIntersections between the Crew Change Crisis and Labor Trafficking\nHuman traffickers often prey on people who are experiencing vulnerabilities as they are easier to exploit. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and current maritime labor issues\, seafarers are placed in a vulnerable position that presents risks of labor exploitation\, which at times rise to the level of labor trafficking. For example\, in one report\, approximately half of seafarers who were interviewed did not have current work contracts and some had not been paid in months.[4] \nDuring Lent and through June 25\, 2021\, the International Day of the Seafarer\, please join us as we elevate the visibility of these seafarers’ plight and call for an end to the crew change crisis through education\, prayer and advocacy. \nTake Action\n\n\nHelp spread the word to family\, friends\, and the community. \n\nEducate: Educate others on the importance that seafarers play in our lives and the global economy as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their well-being.  Resources and social media shareables are available below.\nPray: Pray for the safety and well-being of seafarers\, fishers\, and their families.\nAdvocate: Review the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change and urge stakeholder organizations to sign this global compact with the U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking’s Online Petition.  Review the International Maritime Organization’s Circular Letter “Coronavirus (COVID-19) – Designation of seafarers as key workers” and urge Member States to designate seafarers as key workers.\n\nResources\n\n\n \nForced Labor in the Fishing Industry\nTo learn more about forced labor in the fishing industry\, see The John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy’s page on Social Responsibility in the Fisheries Value Chain: Towards an Integral Approach\, and its 2019 and 2020 Labor-Friendly Seafood Initiatives. \n  \n  \nStella Maris\nFounded by the Catholic Church\, Stella Maris is the largest global maritime ministry serving seafarers\, fishers\, and family members in the world.  In the United States\, Stella Maris is present in 53 maritime ports in 26 states and in 48 dioceses. Port chaplains and lay volunteers minister to seafarers by offering pastoral care\, friendship\, transportation to purchase basic needs\, internet connection/phone cards to communicate with family members\, and more. In addition to offering welcome and hospitality on ship visits\, Stella Maris staff assists seafarers in distress\, whether due to unsafe/exploitative working conditions or long periods of isolation onboard the vessel. \nLearn More\n  \nApostleship of the Sea of the United States of America (AOS-USA)\nAOS-USA is the official professional association of the Catholic Port Chaplains\, Mariners\, and Cruise Ship Priests Program with 500 priests from around the world serving onboard over 650 cruises each year. During the pandemic\, AOS-USA and Stella Maris chaplains and volunteers have worked tirelessly to find ways to minister despite seafarers’ inability to disembark their vessels at port. Many are offering “virtual chaplaincy” to lend a listening ear via email or Facebook. Others are running errands for seafarers in need of basic necessities such as cleaning wipes and fresh water. Still others are preparing care packages for crew delivered with the assistance of shipping agents. AOS-USA has also provided pastoral and support care for cruise personnel online and via phone\, as well as access to the Holy Mass. \nLearn More\n  \nNeptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change\nThe Neptune Declaration\, signed by more than 700 organizations\, outlines the main actions that need to be taken to resolve the crew change crisis. \nLearn More\n  \n \nInternational Cooperation to Address Challenges Faced by Seafarers as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic to Support Global Supply Chains\nUnited Nations G.A.

Gender-based violence exists on every corner of the earth.  In an effort to engage students\, faculty\, community members\, and policymakers in this important conversation we are facing as a global community\, we present the following conversations held from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (EST) daily.  Our hope is the series will create perspective and cultivate action for eradicating the pervasive gender-based violence that has accelerated during the global pandemic. \nAll sessions will be facilitated via Zoom to maximize accessibility. \nTune In Here\n\nExploring Gender-Based Violence: Global Perspectives  |  Nov. 30\, 9 AM – 10 AM (EST)\nModerator:\n \nKutisha Ebron\nPhD in Ethical Leadership Student\nUNDP\, UN Women\, WEI Forward \n[vc_column_text el_class=”popmake-7179″]Read Bio[/vc_column_text]\n  \n  \n  \nDistinguished Panel:\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n\nIrene Atim\, LL.M.\nUN Women \n[vc_column_text el_class=”popmake-7184″]Read Bio[/vc_column_text]\n[/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n\nDr. Roza Pati\nFounder & Director\, The John J.

of forgotten men\, women and children forced to migrate within their own countries and known internationally as internally displaced people (IDPs). In his 2020 greeting for the New Year to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See\, Pope Francis explicitly addressed the urgent needs of internally displaced people\, and his compassionate concern serves as an excellent introduction to the new Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People.  It is the purpose of the Pastoral Orientations on Internally Displaced People to offer suggestions and guidance for action based on four verbs: welcome\, protect\, promote and integrate. \nDownload[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right”

vulnerable to exploitation of all sorts\, including human trafficking.  Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home is the appeal from Pope Francis addressed to “every person living on this planet” for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet.  Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. \nDownload[vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none”

The Church’s full response was considered\, and this six-months process resulted in the Pastoral Orientations on Human Trafficking\, which provides a reading of Human Trafficking and an understanding that motivate and sustain the much-needed long-term struggle. \nDownload[vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_position=”left” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner]\n  \nUNHCR’s Initiative on Internal Displacement (2020-2021)\nThe United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Initiative on Internal Displacement seeks to take forth the systemic and organization-wide transformations required to make the UNHCR response to internal displacement more effective.  Launched in March 2020\, and based on UNHCR’s revised Policy on UNHCR’s Engagement in Situations of Internal Displacement\, the Initiative is an expression of the commitment by the High Commissioner to work more systematically across the entire spectrum of displacement\, including through more decisive and predictable engagement. \nDownload[vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_position=”left” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner]\n  \nGuiding Principles on Internal Displacement\nThe Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement address the specific needs of Internally Displaced Persons worldwide.  These principles identify rights and guarantees relevant to the protection of persons from forced displacement and to their protection and assistance during displacement as well as during return or resettlement and reintegration. \nDownload[vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_position=”right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-6-percent” column_padding_position=”left” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/4″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner]\n  \n  \n  \nDurable Solutions Preliminary Operational Guide\nThe Durable Solutions Preliminary Operational Guide was developed in accordance with the UN Secretary-General Decision in October 2011: to develop guidance for field-based practitioners on how to develop a strategy for supporting durable solutions for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugees returning to their country of origin.

SUMMARY:Welcoming People on the Move: Our Moral Calling to Serve the Most Vulnerable
DESCRIPTION:“There is a need to encourage initiatives to foster fraternity among all local cultural\, ethnic and religious groups… .

Join us to hear about the transformation of local paradigms from rejection to welcoming of the stranger. Learn about the impact of the Syrian conflict and the differential reactions in Europe\, the Haiti earthquake\, the Kosovo conflict\, the Cambodian war on the millions of people\, who were displaced from their homes\, villages\, countries\, to find refuge and a new home in a new village\, new country. \nThis free event is open to the public with registration and part of a larger series in honor of the 106th World Day of Migrants and Refugees. \n  \nDistinguished Panel\n\n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n\nMyriam Mézadieu\nChief Operating Officer\nCatholic Legal Services\nArchdiocese of Miami\, Inc. \n[vc_column_text el_class=”popmake-6164″]Read Bio\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]\n\nProfessor Dr. iur.

SUMMARY:Summer 2020 Human Trafficking Academy
DESCRIPTION:The State of Labor Trafficking Domestically and Abroad:\nA Critical Assessment on the 20th Anniversary of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act\nOnline Format\n  \n\nOn the 20th Anniversary of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act\, this summer’s Academy offers a critical assessment of the state of labor trafficking domestically and abroad.  Despite tremendous progress against human trafficking\, there is presently an estimated 24.9 million people trapped in forced labor in industries including agriculture\, construction\, domestic work\, and manufacturing around the world.  Whether proliferated by disreputable supply chains\, propelled by vulnerability in migrations\, condoned by culture\, emboldened by unenforced laws or even in some cases sanctioned by governments\, this modern slavery of epic proportions must be eradicated through a victim-centered approach. \nThe John J. Brunetti Human Trafficking Academy of St. Thomas University School of Law is renowned for its solid track record of effective training on human trafficking matters.  To date\, the Academy has provided specialized training and technical assistance to over 10\,000 leaders and community members domestically and abroad.  This Academy’s online format will continue to offer its exceptional curriculum and intensive certification with 15 advanced courses taught by leading experts in the field.  We look forward to providing you with cutting-edge perspectives\, insight\, and knowledge on the state of labor trafficking as we combat this scourge together in the years to come! \nRead about our most recent 2019 Summer Academy here. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION\n\n\nEarly-Bird Registration Fee: $300\nDeadline: Tuesday\, June 30\, 2020 \nStandard Registration Fee: $400\nDeadline: Monday\, July 20\, 2020 \nA 25% discount is available for (1) students with proof of valid student I.D.; or\n(2) organizations/institutions that register three or more participants. \n \nCOURSE INFORMATION\n\n\nInstructors\nCertificate Awarded by St. Thomas University School of Law.\n* 24 CLE credits approved by The Florida Bar *
