She hears whispers of a shadowy organization rumoured to have the power to erase and control minds.

In Europe, the fallout from Gilead's actions led to complex diplomatic relations and social challenges. While European countries initially accepted Gileadean refugees, it led to increased tensions and social unrest in some areas. Catia took on the dangerous role of investigating Gilead's actions. Her meticulous research, multilingual skills, and extensive network of contacts allow her to uncover and report on the atrocities committed by Gilead both domestically and internationally.She conducts extensive research, building a global network of contacts, investigating the treatment of women under Gilead's regime, the indoctrination of children, and the underground movements resisting the regime's authority. Her reporting serves as both a form of advocacy and an opportunity for refugees to share their experiences. Catia collaborates with NGOs, activists, and government officials — frequently travelling to Canada — to support refugees and raise awareness about the plight of those affected by Gilead's regime.
