Deep dives
The prevalence and severity of child sacrifice in Uganda
Child sacrifice is a horrifying reality in Uganda, with one sacrifice recorded every week in each of the 12 districts studied. This practice extends to other countries in Africa as well, such as Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, Sierra Leone, India, and Tanzania, where it primarily targets Albino children. The reasons behind child sacrifice vary, with some involving desperate individuals seeking to improve their wealth or status, while others are motivated by a belief in witchcraft and the power that sacrificing a child holds. Tackling this issue is complex due to the involvement of individuals from different social backgrounds, including the poor and the wealthy.
