30 Days of Advocacy Against Witch-Hunts, Day 4

This is part four of a series of posts to support 30 Days of Advocacy Against Witch-hunts, a campaign of  South African Pagan Rights and supported by the South African Pagan Council, Pagan Federation International, Pagan Federation England and Wales, Correllian Nativist Tradition (U.S.A. & S.A.),  Circle Sanctuary (U.S.A.) and Touchstone Advocacy. Read my past posts, with more ways to help, here.

Yesterday I posted about Stepping Stones Nigeria and one way to help the organization by donating to my fundraiser.  Today's post for 30 Days of Advocacy Against Witch Hunts is about a global campaign created by SSN and their Nigerian partner organizations called PACT.  PACT stands for Prevent Abuse of Children Today and it's aim is to bring long-term positive social change to the vulnerable children of the Niger Delta, particularly those at risk of child rights violations including witchcraft-related abuse and trafficking.

So today's way to help?  Sign the PACT.

Other ways to help support PACT?

•  Read about their children's book, Eno's Story.  Make a purchase and read it to your kids to help teach them about this issue.  Request that your library stock the book.  Review it on your blog to help spread the word. 
• Write letters.  Lots of letters!  Get your group, your friends and/or your school involved!  Letters can really make a difference!
• Read up on all the different ways to help at their website.  They even have help for people looking to write their dissertation or thesis on child witchcraft in Africa!
• Follow them on Facebook to keep up with news and information.
