Alliance to End Human Trafficking (AEHT)

Saint Patrick’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and a call to justice. Taken from his home at a young age, he endured hardship but later chose to return—not for revenge, but to bring light where there was darkness. His legacy reminds us that true faith is not passive; it moves us to act, protect, and stand up for those who need us. Today, we honor that same spirit by working to end human trafficking and ensuring every person has the chance to live free and with dignity. #SaintPatricksDay #EndHumanTrafficking

Lent isn’t just about giving something up—it’s about becoming more like Christ. Ephesians 4:2 reminds us to walk in humility, patience, and love. In a world that moves fast, let’s slow down, extend grace, and show up for others with kindness.? A simple challenge for this season: Be gentle. Be patient. Love well.

The Alliance to End Human Trafficking exists because women refused to look away. Catholic Sisters saw the injustice of human trafficking and took action, founding what began as US Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking and growing it into a national movement. Their leadership, rooted in faith and justice, continues to drive our mission forward. We also recognize the women survivors who have turned their lived experiences into advocacy, shaping policies, leading organizations, and demanding change. Today, we don’t just celebrate women—we commit to standing with them, listening to them, and ensuring their voices lead the journey?against exploitation.
