Africans Unite Against Child Abuse Summit

Meg spoke at a summit held by Africans Unite Against Child Abuse (Afruca) which they organised after the death of Kristy Bamu whose own sister killed him after she believed he was possessed.

Meg called for the Home Secretary to consider using her powers to prevent faith leaders who accuse children of being witches from entering the UK.

The meeting also raised the issue of whether there should be a new crime which would tackle British faith leaders who brand children as witches. The children's minister Tim Loughton MP said he was waiting for the conclusions for a working group on this issue.
