: JUSTICE AS INTEGRAL TO HEALTH ::..

Justice Concerns: Our collaboration with local people helped us to experience how unjust systems kept those made poor from making choices for health. Time and again, we witnessed and experienced the integral connection between justice and healing. In response we worked with local groups trying to help them discover their own resources. “We live our healing mission as we enter the life of other people, open to be affected by them and simple enough to give of our selves. In this way mission for us becomes mutual growth and search leading to a new reality beyond the present situation”

Today we join hands in the struggle of Tribal and Dalit communities , empowerment of women, targeting children as agents of change, addressing ecological issues, seeking justice in the health care system.

We are called to respond radically by addressing the root cause of issues with a focus on change of structures in both the civil and ecclesiastical arenas. We continue net working across national, cultural, ethnic and religious coalitions.

We have formed a MMS net work among us to respond to justice issues. We also collaborate with those having similar interest to respond to such issues in a collective way.

We actively participate in World Social Forum and People’s Health Movement
