Feast Day of St. Josephine Bakhita
February 06, 2025
On February 8 we will celebrate the 11th Edition of International Day of Prayer and Awareness against Human Trafficking.
It is the feast day of St Josephine Bakhita who was a victim of trafficking as a child. She has become a symbol of freedom and a source of inspiration for the entire international community committed to combating human trafficking and exploitation.
The theme for 2025 is: Ambassadors of Hope: Together Against Human Trafficking.
This year, in light of the Church Jubilee, we continue our journey with open hearts filled with compassion, HOPE and solidarity, recognizing our shared commitment to justice. The pilgrimage is a sacred journey, in which each step brings us closer to our mission. By committing in solidarity, we accompany those whose lives have been uprooted and stand to advocate for justice, protection and dignity.
Every step we take is an act of prayer and symbol of hope.
Talitha Kum invites us, either individually or in communal participation in their online pilgrimage on February 7th and in various initiatives scheduled from February 2nd to 8th in Rome and around the world. Find out how to participate.
