The Saint Monica’s Home of the Augustinian Recollects in Fortaleza (Ceará, Brazil) is a project that fights against exploitation, abuse, abandonment, school drop-out or any type of violence against underage girls and adolescents from neighborhoods, families and more vulnerable.
On the 27th of August last year they opened the first phase of Saint Monica’s Home (St. Monica’s Homes). It is a house of refuge for twelve young girls, who are victims of the sexual tourism in Fortaleza (Brazil). This project, run by the Augustinian Recollects, has needed three years of preparation and once started it will only grow in outreach and importance.
