Areas of intervention

Our global ministries draw on 400 years of compassionate outreach to girls, women, and children in the face of social conditions that cry out for mercy and reconciliation. Today, our programs, policy, and advocacy work are defined in six main areas of intervention.

Migration

We educate people on the move regarding their rights and provide services that respond to the complex needs of migrants, which include residential care, language skills, health care, social integration, trauma healing, employment skills, and legal help.

Economic Justice

We seek to eradicate poverty while supporting decent work, sustainable and environmentally sound economic growth, reduced inequalities, and responsible production and consumption.

Girl Child

We develop supportive social programs that welcome and value each girl, respecting her spiritual, human, and child rights, and offer specialized gender-sensitive responses for children who have suffered traumas related to abuse, deprivation, family loss, all forms of sexual exploitation, and armed conflict.

Anti-Human Trafficking

We support policies that will prevent and eradicate trafficking in women and girls by addressing gender discrimination, economic injustice, violence against women, criminal impunity, and government corruption.

Gender-based Violence

Our programs support women and girls in healing, self-sufficiency through employability skills, economic and personal growth opportunities, and reconciliation with often-estranged families.

Integral Ecology

We are politically active on issues such as trade, climate change, practices of transnational corporations, harm of military industry and armaments, national energy policies, and sustainable water usage.

Become a donor

Becoming part of our mission in this way will help us to continue to support and empower girls, women, and children who live in poverty, are exploited, abused, discriminated against, trafficked, or forced to migrate.
