Vatican bails on questionable anti-human trafficking initiative

Vatican City, Jul 30, 2015 / 03:50 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Faithful to its commitment against human trafficking, the Holy See has left the board of an initiative it helped to found, as questions have been raised around both its effectiveness and its chairman's possible use of the Pope to raise funds.

Together with Anglican and Muslim leaders, the Vatican launched the Global Freedom Network in March 2014, hoping to eradicate human trafficking by 2020.
