Collaborative Ministries
Collaboration means working hand-in-hand with people and organizations representing the rich diversity of our world today. Our collaborative partnerships continue to be part of our apostolic work. In our daily ministries, we collaborate with people from every ethnic, socio-economic and religious background to create a better world. We collaborate with the Salvatorian Family and the wider community on many social justice issues. Since 2009, our focus areas have been human trafficking, immigration and the plight of children and teens. Some of our collaborative efforts include:
A collaborative, faith-based national network that offers education, supports access to survivor services, and engages in advocacy in an effort to eradicate modern-day slavery.
Alliance to End Human Trafficking publishes its monthly Stop Trafficking! online newsletter to build awareness; advocate for treatment of trafficking victims and prosecution of perpetrators; and offer actionable ways for ordinary citizens to get involved.
UNANIMA is a United Nations’ accredited non-governmental organization (NGO) advocating on behalf of women and children (particularly those living in poverty), immigrants and refugees, and the environment. Sisters of the Divine Savior is one of 19 congregations of Roman Catholic sisters whose 17,500 sisters work in 79 countries. UNANIMA brings our voices, concerns and experiences as educators, health care providers, social workers and development workers to this global forum.
