My Female Faith Hero: Catholic Sisters

Tony Blair: "They give themselves entirely to caring for trafficked women, protecting them in safe houses, educating about the dangers of "attractive" job offers overseas, helping them escape from vicious pimps, making safe their return to their families in the midst of threats. This does not make celibacy easy or less of a sacrifice. Their spirituality is not incidental either. Dealing with young traumatised women at the very beginning of their recovery from rape and sexual slavery - if they ever fully achieve it - requires that amalgam of compassion and street toughness that does not come from reading "how-to-be successful" books."
