Governmental and civil society advocates for the persecuted in Nigeria shared first-hand expertise and proposed actions to address the violence and discrimination perpetrated by groups such as Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen in the country.<\/p><p>\u201cNobody should be persecuted because of their faith. We should not allow the Nigerian government to let terrorists and criminals attack faith communities with impunity. We urge those in power to protect every person\u2019s inalienable right to religious freedom. We also call on the international community to work with local faith leaders to best support interfaith peace and counter extremism. Only a coordinated and holistic effort will be effective. Persecution against people of faith must end,\u201d said Kelsey Zorzi, Director of Global Religious Freedom for ADF International.<\/p><div class=\"fitvids\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSBpZD0id2lkZ2V0MiIgdGl0bGU9IkludGVybmF0aW9uYWwgUmVsaWdpb3VzIEZyZWVkb20gU3VtbWl0IC0gTmlnZXJpYSBEaW5uZXIgMjAyMSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9wWEtEQ3FVMWVRUT93bW9kZT10cmFuc3BhcmVudCZhbXA7cmVsPTAmYW1wO2ZlYXR1cmU9b2VtYmVkJmFtcDtlbmFibGVqc2FwaT0xJmFtcDtvcmlnaW49aHR0cHM6JTJGJTJGYWRmaW50LndwZW5naW5lLmNvbSIgd2lkdGg9IjY0MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSIzNjAiIGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyPSIwIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW49ImFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiIgZGF0YS1tY2UtZnJhZ21lbnQ9IjEiPjwvaWZyYW1lPg==\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_pXKDCqU1eQQ_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">Vous \u00eates actuellement en train de consulter le contenu d'un espace r\u00e9serv\u00e9 de <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims and Christians have been internally displaced. Last week, 121 schoolchildren were kidnapped from a Baptist school in Kaduna. And, since 2012, over 27,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered for their faith.<\/p><p>Last year, the U.S. Department of State designated Nigeria as the first democracy to ever be labelled a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/news-room\/uscirf-spotlight\/nigeria-country-particular-concern\">country of particular concern<\/a>\u201d for the egregious, systematic, and ongoing violations of religious freedom happening in the country. The UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Killings called the country a \u201cpressure cooker\u201d of violence. For over a decade, the terrorist group Boko Haram has targeted Christians and attacked other Muslims. The brutality of attacks from various militants has only seemed to increase. One\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/appgfreedomofreligionorbelief.org\/nigeria-unfolding-genocide-new-appg-report-launched\/\">major report<\/a>\u00a0has even raised the specter of genocide. Speaker Bishop Sunday Onuoha of Global Peace Foundation highlighted the problems of justice for the victims of Boko Haram violence: \u201cHow would you feel?\u201d if your attackers went free? \u201cIt is an emergency.\u201d<\/p><p>Violence and insecurity are the most pressing issue challenging religious freedom in Nigeria today. Yet, other issues such as forced marriage and forced conversions in the North, and problems with non-Muslims being brought into Sharia courts are widespread and deeply concerning. Victims of Boko Haram violence, particularly women and girls who are victims of sexual violence and slavery, face being ostracized if and when they are able to return to their homes. Converts from Islam often face harassment that is ignored by law enforcement and local governments.<\/p><p><b>World\u2019s largest civil society-led conference on international religious freedom<\/b><\/p><p>The high-level event took place at the International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C., on July 14. The Summit was this year\u2019s largest civil society-led conference on international religious freedom in the world.<\/p><p>The International Religious Freedom Summit was hosted by former U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, Sam Brownback, and former Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), Katrina Lantos Swett. The event featured high-level leaders from government and civil society.
