While we celebrate St. Valentine's Day, at a deeper level we honour & celebrate the birthday of Frederick Douglass & his unwavering commitment to the pursuit of the end of slavery. Join us in the mission to end Modern Slavery.

As we begin #16DaysOfActivism against #gender-based violence, we're reminded that prevention is key. Acting early can help protect women and girls, including those vulnerable to #HumanTrafficking. Research shows that survivors often experience increased risks of #femicide due to societal stigma and lack of support. Let's break this cycle together. #16Days #OrangeTheWorld #ActEarly #NoExcuse #EndGBV #EndViolence #ACTtoEndViolence #EndHumanTrafficking

We need peace in Sudan.
We need an immediate cessation of hostilities.
We need safe & unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.
We need an end to the flow of weapons & fighters.
We need the Sudanese Armed Forces & the Rapid Support Forces to come to the negotiating table.

St John Henry Newman now proclaimed a Doctor of the Church and Co-Patron of Education. @CatholicBishops @BishopFintan @ucddublin May he pray for us!

St. John Henry Newman is officially a Doctor of the Church.
Just moments ago in St. Peter’s Square, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV proclaimed the Solemn Formula in Latin to make the Englishman the 38th Doctor of the Universal Church.

#EUAntiTraffickingDay is the perfect moment for a daily reminder:
⭕️ 27.6 million people trafficked globally
⭕️less than 1% identified
⭕️ 1 in 3 victims is a child
⭕️#technology is increasingly used by traffickers, especially for recruitment & online exploitation.
These statistics deserve our attention not just today, but every day.

A powerful testimony to the importance of recognising the role poverty played & continues to play, in damaging, uprooting & destroying lives. We salute all of you who were able to attend today's gathering at the iconic Famine memorial sculptures, Dublin. instagram.com/p/DP3JdVpjMriV…
