Around 40 nuns engaged in fighting human trafficking in India spent three days at a Church media institute learning various forms of media that they could use in their mission. The October 3-5 workshop aimed to equip the AMRAT (Asian Movement of Women Religious against Human Trafficking) members with media knowledge so that they can report crimes against women and children, including trafficking, to the authorities, said Holy Cross Sister Regina Rozario, the project coordinator in the movement’s national team.
The AMRAT is part of “Talitha Kum” (“Little girl, I say to you, get up”), the international network of consecrated life against trafficking in persons. The October 3-5 training that focused on digital storytelling and cyber safety was conducted at the Media College of NISCORT (National Institute of Social Communication, Research and Training) managed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, at Vaishali, on the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border. The participants came from various women congregations that serve in the regions of Bihar, Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, North East, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
