West Africa & Human Rights

Franciscans International has started to monitor more closely the situation in West African countries where there is a considerable presence of Franciscan brothers and sisters working in schools, hospitals, hosting centers with victims of labor exploitation, trafficking or AIDS. We aim to concretely express our solidarity with by offering them the opportunity to know more about international mechanisms that can assist them in empowering the people they serve.
Also, FI is particularly alarmed about the deterioration of the situation in Togo and the dangers that Church leaders, journalists, human rights defenders daily face and has, therefore, decided to pay special attention to this country.
