UN moves to check violations associated with witchcraft, other practices in Nigeria

The United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council has passed a resolution condemning accusations of witchcraft, rituals and other harmful traditions that result in human rights violations in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

This followed six years of advocacy by a coalition of survivors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), (including Safe Child Africa Founder and Trustee Gary Foxcroft), academics, lawyers and journalists against rituals and other harmful cultural practices in the country.
