Deeply touched by their fear, distress and lack of freedom, she decided to commit her life to freedom and against every form of exploitation and human trafficking.

She has been living in communities with women of several cultures, nationalities and social background, sharing God's passion for human dignity, justice, pace and freedom, in the slums of big cities.
