Persecuted and Forgotten? A Report on Christians oppressed for their Faith 2022-24 summarises the findings of ACN’s continued research, assessing recent patterns of violence and persecution.
Even before the period under review in this report, evidence was already showing that persecution and oppression were getting worse. Around the world Christians are finding themselves subject to increased risk of harassment, arrest and violence – churches are burnt, Christian women are abducted and raped, and the faithful are killed for their beliefs.
This edition of Persecuted and Forgotten? examines the challenges facing Christians in 18 countries where the faithful are suffering because of state authoritarianism or attacks from extremists. It covers the period between August 2022 and June 2024.
