The Congregation of The Sisters of Mercy is committed to responding, where possible, to the global injustice of the trafficking of persons on the island of Ireland. In 2013 the Congregation founded MECPATHS’ project as a direct response to the growing illicit trade with humans.  The project’s response to this serious issue is through education, advocacy and awareness raising around the reality of child trafficking today.

While its original focus was engaging with and educating within the hospitality sector, MECPATHS has extended its outreach to universities, Colleges, Hospitals, Private Industry, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency and much more.

The collaborative and partnership nature of MECPATHS’ work has been and continues to be most effective.
