New report claims human trafficking of Egyptian Christian women is on the rise
Approximately 500 Christian women in Egypt have been victims of human trafficking in the past two decades. That’s according to a new study published by Coptic Solidarity, an Egyptian minority rights group which campaigns on behalf of the country’s Coptic Christian community. Entitled “Jihad in the Womb,” the new report claims that human trafficking involving Coptic Christian women and girls is escalating, including kidnappings, forced conversions, and other human rights abuses. They also claim that the issue is being trivialized by both the Egyptian police and government who Coptic Solidarity allege are accomplices in the trafficking chain.
Pope Francis: Christian journalists should never hide the truth
A Christian working in the field of journalism is required to offer a professional and personal witness to the world of communications by never hiding the truth, nor manipulating information. That was the message of Pope Francis to the editorial board of the Belgian Catholic magazine, “Tertio” on Friday. They were meeting with the Holy Father to mark the publications’ 20th anniversary. He told them quality journalism, “allows us to better understand the problems and challenges that the world is called to face, and inspires individual, family and social behaviors.” This can be achieved, he suggested, by seeking a positive view of people and facts; rejecting prejudices; and fostering a culture of encounter through which it is possible to know reality with a confident outlook.
