Almajiranci, is a synonym for the word 'almuhajr' meaning migrant.
It is phenomena that has been in practice for centuries where Boys are
taken away from thier homes by thier own parents to a religious scholar
in a far away land for religious study. But it has overtime transformed
into the greatest machinery of child abuse especially in Northern
Nigera. The children survive by begging on the streets for food and
become victims to every kind of human right abuse
Now, as little as 2 year olds are taken for 'almajioranci, as well as the Girl child.
We need to stop this, and we need your help to put a top to this despicable practice. Sign this petitiotn to enable us push for a legislation to ban this human right abuse and violation.
This almajiri of a thing promote nothing but increases the rate of crimes in the northern part of the country, it really disturb the peace in me seeing child of 2-3 years roaming around the street begging for what to eat. We just can’t continue living like this.
