Visitation Monasteries and the Rescued

For nine years we have researched into the history of the Visitation Monasteries in Europe who were privileged to be part of the rescue of trafficked women in the 1800’s.

We have come to the end of our discoveries through research and invite scholars to continue this work in a more thorough way.

Here are some of the stories we have posted as well as several more items to be investigated.

Please help us if you can! We are pleased to be a part of this special Black History Month and especially to celebrate the memory of St Bakhita!
