"The Rome-based International Union of Superiors General launched Catholic Care for Children International online Oct. 2, inviting all women's and men's religious orders to join the global initiative to end or reduce recourse to institutionalized child care and instead get children into safe and loving family- or community-based care," says this article from Global Sisters Report. "A key moment underpinning the new sister-led initiative was a historic move by the U.N. General Assembly last December," the article continues. "On the 30th anniversary of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, the 193 member states unanimously adopted a resolution that recognizes orphanages actually harm children and must be replaced with high-quality family- or community-based care."
