The International Union of Superiors General (UISG) aims to build bridges and develop networks in order to create different ways for religious sisters to communicate across geographical distances, different languages and cultures in order to be in communion with one another and build a global community together. It has a worldwide membership of 1903 leaders of feminine religious congregations. The UISG established and supports Talitha Kum, the international network of religious sisters against human trafficking. Talitha Kum is constituted of more than 50 local networks in nearly 90 countries, actively supporting victims, survivors and people at risk.
