The Role of Faith Organisations In Safeguarding African Children

Afruca has produced a report, entitled "The Role of Faith Organizations in Safeguarding African Children". A compilation of presentations from two recent conferences organized by Afruca in Manchester and London, the report is a comprehensive guide to some of the challenges emerging from safeguarding children in faith and religion settings. With analysis from the Metropolitan Police Service, the Churches Child Protection Advisory Services, and the Muslim Parliament amongst a prestigious roll-call of expert and authorititive contributers, the report covers a wide range of issues such as "Witchcraft, Exorcism and African Churches", "Female Genital Mutilation and Religion" and "Protecting Children in Madrassahs." This is an in-depth, far reaching report, and a must-have resource for anyone interested in the well-being of African children.

The report costs £5.99 (plus an additional £1.99 for postage and packing). To request a copy, click here.
