Pope Francis makes surprise visit to women rescued from prostitution

Visit was one of the Pontiff's 'Mercy Friday' trips marking the Year of Mercy
Pope Francis has paid a surprise visit to a community helping 20 young women get their lives back together after being rescued from prostitution.
Continuing his Year of Mercy practice of dedicating one Friday a month to meet people facing special struggles, the Pope visited the house operated by the John XXIII Community in northeast Rome.
The community members, the Vatican said, were “20 women liberated from the slavery of the prostitution racket. Six of them come from Romania, four from Albania, seven from Nigeria and one each from Tunisia, Italy and Ukraine.”
The women’s average age is 30, said a Vatican press statement. “All of them have endured serious physical violence” and are now being protected.
Pope Francis’s visit, the Vatican said, is another call to combat human trafficking, a reality the Pope has described as “a crime against humanity” and “an open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ”
