Talitha Kum jako zakonna awangarda w walce z handlem ludźmi
Talitha Kum as a religious avant-garde in the fight against human trafficking

Summary/Abstract: The human trafficking has been known since the earliest times. It took many forms, but it was always in its nature, a slave trade that degraded human dignity. Currently, in many countries of the world this reality, shameful for the civilization of the 21st century, is increasingly recognized. Huge profits generated by human trafficking result in the emergence of more and more people dealing with this practice. Various international organizations are looking for effective methods of fighting this criminal activity, but it is often seen that they are not keeping up with prevention. Various institutions, including the Catholic Church, go to the rescue of present-day slaves. The Talitha Kum international organization was founded on the initiative of female religious orders to help women and minors, in particular, to free themselves from the shackle of human trafficking, especially in prostitution and other forms of abuse. Talitha Kum is a group of over 2,000 people who help over 200,000 people covered by preventive and awareness-raising activities. This study briefly presents the activity of this Church organization as the avant-garde response of the Catholic Church to certain international regulations of civil law.
