Following many reports of children being killed in ritual sacrifice, a new wave of pressure has been launched to force an end to the practice in Uganda.

Children marched through the streets of Kampala on June 18, raising the awareness of the public and also reminding the citizens that child sacrifice is one of the most cruel things one can do to a child. The march ended up at Parliament Building.

Local non-government organisation Action for the Rights of Children (ARC) organised the march to Parliament on June 18 to present the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga with the petition.

Ingrid Naiga of Green Hill Academy eloquently condemned the practice. "We ask Parliament to criminalise child sacrifice," she appealed.
