Following the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, which is commemorated each year on July 30 - Sister Leonida Katunge appealed for men and women of goodwill to look into the dramatic issue of organ trafficking.

By Sister Leonida Katunge

All that brings to mind the sad moments of past bitter experiences are not worthy of celebration. The Catholic Church commemorates the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, not to celebrate His death, but to call to mind the fact that through His death, salvation came into the world. This is the good side of a sad story that ends joyfully. But it is quite the opposite when dealing with cases of human trafficking, where most of the time, those involved face a sad ending.

The annual commemoration of the World Day against Trafficking in Persons is a moment in which we recognize the life and suffering of so many brothers and sisters who have been victims of trafficking in the world. Many of them suffer while being trafficked, especially after they survive. The wounds are physical, emotional, social, political, economic, and spiritual.

The theme of this year’s commemoration - “Leave no child behind in the fight against human trafficking” - reminds me of a sorrowful experience I had in May 2020. It was a day just like any other when received a call from an unknown number. I answered, and the person calling was a lady in distress. She informed me that she had been arrested by the police at the airport, but gave no reason for her arrest.

Records obtained by ITV News reveal 197 babies are buried in mass burial grounds across England, ITV News Social Affairs Correspondent Sarah Corker reports

An investigation by ITV News has found that nearly 200 babies are buried in unmarked graves across England, amid allegations of neglect and poor treatment at church run homes for unmarried mothers in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

Burials were often carried out in secret, and without the knowledge of families.

Between 1949 and the mid-1970s, an estimated 200,000 women were sent away to mother and baby homes run by churches and the state - where infants were taken from their mothers or died through poor care.

Burial records obtained by ITV News through a series of Freedom of Information requests have revealed that 197 babies, who died at eight of these homes, are buried in mass burial grounds at least ten different cemeteries across the England, from Newcastle to Hampshire.

As of 2030, it will no longer be possible to adopt children from abroad. Parents now have six years to complete current adoption procedures, writes State Secretary Teun Struycken in a letter to the House of Representatives. In the NOS Radio 1 Journaal, a conversation with Reinout van Haperen of the National Association of Adoptive Families.

Van Haperen would like to start the conversation with something positive: "The tone of the letter is really much better than that of Mr. Struycken's predecessors." But, he continues: "What we find very sad is that the interests of the children are not taken into account at all in this weighing of interests."

Permanent home situation

Adoption is primarily a child protection measure, Van Haperen argues. "You want children to grow up in their country of origin, that's the ultimate goal. But if that's not possible, a permanent home situation is more important than growing up in their country of origin." He believes that the interests of children should come first. That parents should be sought for children, instead of the other way around.

Student unions demand that children be handed over to the adopted parents

Hyderabad: Foster parents, who adopted nine of the 16 rescued children in May and are engaged in a legal battle to claim rights to meet their children at Sishu Vihar, have now decided to take on the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), which they blame for the turbulence they have been undergoing for the last six months.

Many of those foster parents met representatives of Telangana Samag Student Unions and other student unions on Wednesday. They had stood in their support seeking justice and getting back their children as per the directions of the High Court.

They met the media for the time. They included Karri Deavendra and his wife Durgabhavani; Dasari Anil Kumar and his wife Bezawads Sathitya; B. Santosh and his wife B. Jagdeshaari; and Sowala Mallesh and his wife Sawalla Sruthi, who all either belong to Telangana or Andhra Pradesh.

They took exception to not being given an opportunity to meet the children at Sishu Vihar, where they are presently put up.

Hyderabad: The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Medchal-Malkajgiri district in Telangana has declared 15 children who were rescued by police from a child-selling racket busted earlier this year as 'Legally Free for Adoption (LFA)'.

Official sources on Wednesday said the Committee decided the children to be LFA as per Section 38 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 as their biological parents could not be traced.

The High Court had on November 28 directed the CWC to pass an order in terms of Section 37 (orders regarding a child in need of care and protection) of the Act within two weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of its order.

Section 38 of the Act stipulates that the Committee, in case of an orphan and abandoned child, shall make all efforts to trace the parents or guardians of the child and on completion of such inquiry, if it is established that the child is either an orphan having no one to take care, or abandoned, the Committee shall declare the child legally free for adoption.

The court also gave directions to the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) to decide within four weeks on the applications filed by some of the "adoptive parents" seeking adoption of the children.

For a long time, it was thought that adoption from abroad was good for the intended parents and for the child, but from 2030 it will no longer be allowed. Theatre maker José Montoya (45), who was adopted from Colombia, never believed in the 'adoption fairy tale'. 'The idea that a child in a 'third world country' is worse off than here is racist.'

“Many adopted people hear their whole lives that they should just be grateful and not complain,” says theater maker and visual artist José Montoya (45). Adoption is a recurring theme in his theater work. In 2021, he made the performance To be of never been about his own adoption story. And last November, together with four other program makers with a history of adoption, he organized the cultural stage Ver Van Hier in Rotterdam, to let 'a different voice' be heard about intercountry adoption. “We debunk the adoption fairy tale.”

Intercountry adoption, abuses and prohibition

Since 1956, it has been possible to adopt a child from the Netherlands or Europe in the Netherlands. In 1974, it also became possible to adopt a child from outside Europe, which soon concerned the vast majority of adoptions. Between 1974 and 2023, more than 42,000 children were adopted from abroad, of whom 406 in the last five years ( CBS and FIOM ).
