Pictured is a young girl simply identified as Queen - who was set ablaze
over witchcraft accusations. The girl was saved and rehabilitated by
Anja Lovren, a Danish human rights fighter in Akwa Ibom State.
She was rescued just before she was burned to death by her people for over a year now.
The
Danish worker shared the pictures of the girl on her social media
account yesterday as she highlighted the work her organisation is doing
in the region to help children like Queen.
The Danish lady said;
The
scars on her body will never go away. It´s a reminder of the
superstition so deeply rooted in the African culture. Queen has been
with us for a year now.
In the beginning she was
terrified, weak and very fragile. But our team led by our Director of
Child Development @nsidibeorok have worked so hard to make her a strong
girl again. To make her feel worthy of love. To give her self-esteem.
You
can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. One day Queen will
tell her story. Her will to survive and strength is remarkable. She is
my little hero.
