Sadhvi Siddhali Shree, a past Cluny Student at Sts. Peter & Paul school in Wilmington, California often stays with the Cluny Sisters when she is in southern California. Her personal story is quite unique.
She is the first North American Jain
female-monk, a US Army Iraq veteran, international speaker, author,
documentarian, and an activist for social justice. Driven by her deep-seated
devotion to humanity, she uses her talents and skills to raise awareness about
violence in the world and ways to change it. She serves as the Spiritual
Director of Siddhayatan Tirth and International Society of Human Unity’s
Director. She’s passionate about social movements that focus on non-violence,
human rights, gender equality, trafficking, and the youth.
Invited to
the Hollywood Premiere of the flim, Cluny Sisters Genevieve Marie Vigil and
Mary J. Glynn were pleased to attend. The movement to end the modern-day evil
of human trafficking is in accord with the Cluny Sisters’ international charism
of liberation and the commitment made by the 2,500 Cluny Sisters around the
world at their 2012 General Chapter in Paris, France.
In the release of
the film, Sadhvi Siddhali Shree said: “Thank you for contributing to Stopping
Traffic through your stories, advice, music, talents, donation, energy,
