Mercy International Association Global Action
In the Jubilee Year of Mercy (2016), Sisters of Mercy and partners-in-Mercy were invited to participate in a worldwide reflection process to collectively discern a shared response to the 'cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor'. What emerged from this process were new visions and commitments to action under two intersecting thematic focus areas: (i) displacement of persons, and (ii) degradation of Earth. Mercy Global Action is committed to addressing these identified areas of injustice.
Thematic Focus Areas

Addressing Degradation of Earth
Natural disasters and human activities are creating devastating impacts on ecosystems, including climate change, habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and scarcity of natural resources. Mercy Global Action calls for urgent solutions to achieve a more sustainable future for our common home.

Addressing Displacement of Persons
Rising conflict, climate impacts, and economic hardship are uprooting more and more individuals around the world. Mercy responses to migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and people who have experienced gender-based violence, homelessness, and trafficking reflect solidarity and hospitality to people who have lost a sense of belonging and safety.
