Abstract


Talithakum is one of the international networked institutions engaged in humanitarian issues focusing on human trafficking. This institution is managed collaboratively by leaders of women's religious congregations worldwide. One is the Talithakum Yogyakarta Network, under Talithakum Indonesia's auspices. Using the literature study method, this research focuses on exploring and examining the values of migration theology based on Gemma Tulud Cruz's thoughts in the Talithakum Yogyakarta Network. The results showed that the Talithakum Yogyakarta network as a humanitarian organization contains and applies the values of Gemma Tulud Cruz's theology of migration. The spirit of solidarity, the spirituality of courageous hope, and crucified people appear alive in various work programs by Talithakum Yogyakarta Network, from simple efforts such as educational movements as a preventive stage to assistance and sustainable handling actions for migrants. Talithakum Yogyakarta Network is committed to realizing a world free of human trafficking. This commitment is also important to be owned by various elements of society, including the Church, to build a dignified civilization and life.
