TO IMPROVE THE RECOGNITION OF WOMEN RELIGIOUS' WORK, 2 POLICY PAPERS WERE PRODUCED TO STRENGHTEN THE SISTERS' ADVOCACY EFFORTS AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT IN LINE WITH THE COP27 EVENT IN LATE 2024. THE GSF ORGANIZATION'S THIRD STREAM OF WORK IS TO BUILD ALLIANCES AND TELL THE STORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTION. THE GSF HAS RESPONDED TO THE CALL TO ACTION WITH URGENCY, WITH ITS NETWORK DRAWING FROM ITS DIVERSE STRENGTHS TO SUPPORT THIS LEADERSHIP VIA THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: A. LAUDATO SI MOVEMENT - A CAMPAIGN FOR THE LAUNCH OF A DOCUMENTARY, DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VATICAN, FOCUSING ON CLIMATE CHANGE. B. VOICES OF THE MIGRANTS - A CAMPAIGN TO COMMUNICATE THE PROJECTS UNDER THE CARE OF WOMEN AND MEN RELIGIOUS AND MISSIONARIES IN ORDER TO PROMOTE MIGRANT PEOPLE'S INCLUSION IN THE WORK FIELD. 3344797 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true true false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 1 0 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false CA MN NY PA VA X SABRINA ROMERO 8008364620 2300 N ST NW SUITE 501A Washington DC 20037 X PATRICK W MCGRORY PRESIDENT & DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X X 49959 0 0 SUSAN M HUBER CHAIR & DIR.
