Such training is needed more than ever given that the "trends of human trafficking are really evolving drastically," particularly in the use of online artificial intelligence, or AI, said Sr. Abby Avelino, coordinator of the Rome-based coalition. "We want to make sure that our sisters on the ground stay updated so we can equip them as effectively as possible," Avelino told Global Sisters Report. The training was held at the Baan Phu Wan pastoral training center near Bangkok. (The Hilton Foundation is a major funder of Global Sisters Report.) Talitha Kum International also collaborated with Tangaza University in Nairobi, Kenya, and the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome to organize the event.
