An active voice for Human Rights
After retiring from a faculty position at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, Medical Mission Sister Teresita Hinnegan from North America, Philadelphia, helped to co-found Dawn's Place, a center for trafficked women, in 2007. During that same year, she also opened the Center for the Empowerment of Women in Philadelphia. Since then, she has been an active voice in the struggle for human rights.
