Sr. Rejane Cytacki talks with Sr. Margaret Kruse, a sister of St. Francis of Assisi, about her anti-trafficking efforts. In this clip from "In Good Faith," Sister Margaret talks about the creation of Sisters Program South in Milwaukee. "It's a place that is a respite area for women who are in prostitution or who have been trafficked, and they can come and rest," she says. "They even have beds where they can lay down and sleep for a while. They have clothes and food and provide meals there for them as well."

The program has been going since 2017, and its outreach includes a van that heads out two to three nights a week to make contact with the women.
