In the past many of our sisters have collaborated with the International Union of Superiors General, in the past Sr Carmen Sammut as President, and today Sr Angela Kapitingana as a member of the Council and Sr Maamalifar Poreku in the JPIC Commission.
The UISG aims to promote a wider and deeper understanding of women’s religious life in all its diversity and complexity. UISG highlights the richness of the different charisms that inspire congregations and demonstrates the diversity that flourishes among members of religious congregations, including differences in cultural backgrounds, perspectives, experiences and skills. It shares stories of the care and tenderness that sisters bring to those around them on a daily basis, often in very demanding contexts.
The Talitha Kum network, in which many of our sisters collaborate, was officially founded in 2009 by the International Union of Superiors General, in order to play an active part in the fight against the trafficking and exploitation of human beings. The construction of this network began at the end of the 1990s, when a number of nuns working with women who were victims of violence and sexual exploitation discovered the harsh and painful reality of human trafficking. Given the seriousness and growth of this emerging problem, the UISG asked the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission (JPIC) to organise projects to analyse it. In 2001, the phenomenon of human trafficking was presented as a priority issue to the UISG Plenary Assembly.
Here we introduce you to the Union and its resources, which are available on the Internet for all sisters.
