Upcoming Webinar: Solidarity with Seafarers at Risk of Human Trafficking and Exploitation

Turbulent seas made worse by climate change, modern day piracy, long and grueling workdays, constant exposure to the elements, and lack of medical attention while aboard a vessel are common aspects of what Pope Francis describes as one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. Those who work on vessels also face risks of labor exploitation, which at times rises to the level of human trafficking. This webinar will examine the risks confronting seafarers, what the Catholic Church is doing to counter them, and how you can help.
