Child and Women Abuse within the Congolese Migrant Community in Britain

Study of Religion, Princeton

The arrest of a Congolese pastor by British police has awoken the awareness
about the existence of abuse within African migrant communities in Britain.
But for more than a decade, immigration and police services have been more
interested in removing Congolese asylum seekers than in protecting their
wellbeing.
Dr Adrien Ngudiankama will describe the complexity of child and woman abuse
within the Congolese migrant community and its consequences for policy makers.
His presentation is enriched by his immersion, as a pastor/theologian and
social scientist, within the African migrant communities in London since 1991.
