Loreto Justice Network
In 2018 the Province Council of Loreto Australia and South East Asia ratified the Terms of Reference of the Loreto Justice Network to inform, form and transform our mission and ministries via engagement of our heads, hearts and hands in a corporate commitment to social justice. The LJN meet four times a year.
The four signposts guiding our integrated approach are: Advocacy, Communication, Education/Formation and Research.
The Loreto Justice Network focuses on five main areas:
- Human Trafficking
- Indigenous Rights
- Refugees and Asylum Seekers
- Climate Change
- Women and Children
Loreto holds annual Mary Ward Justice Lectures in most states to promote discussion on key social issues.
For more information about the Loreto Justice Network please contact the LJN Co-ordinator, Anne Muirhead (anne.muirhead@loretoministries.org.au), follow Loreto Australia and South East Asia on Facebook and regular justice articles in the Loreto Networker.
