The prison
for deportation is like a world-globe on a small scale. We meet
women from all continents: Russia, Ukrania, Poland and Albania,
Mongolia and China; Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines; Kenya,
Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria.
In their
reports, most of them mention "a kind white man", helped
them to get to Germany, but many were beaten, drugged, and threatened
to be killed, if they did not obey the "kind helper",
or those involved in the trafficking of women.
Together
with some NGO's, we are working for an amelioration of the situation
of the women who are found by the police and put in prison and
then sent out of Germany to their country of origin. We are lobbying
members of parliament and different political parties. Meanwhile,
we try to be a sign of solidarity to those we are sent to and
live this mission of presence in a multicultural and inter-religious
world where God Himself is always ahead of us.
"Gott
will die eine Familie der
Menschen auf dieser Erde,
in der sich einer um den anderen kümmert,
und alle sich geborgen wissen in Gottes Liebe"
