Pope Francis on Wednesday
appealed to government leaders to take action to stop human
trafficking, especially that involving children and adolescents.
"I urge all those in government positions to combat this scourge
with firmness, giving voice to our younger brothers and sisters
who have been wounded in their dignity," he said, marking the
International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human
Trafficking. "All efforts must be made to eradicate this
shameful and intolerable crime".
