Sign the petition demanding an end to the 'sorcery' killings in Papua New Guinea - although the cultural beliefs of the Papua New Guineans must be respected, they should never be an excuse for the brutal torture and killings that are taking place.

Please take the time to sign a petition or send a message to support causes you believe are important. Remember- one name or message can be the difference between 'yes' and 'no.'
All the petitions and messages are respectfully and peacefully worded, but do read before you sign, and don't sign anything you don't agree with.
Thanks for reading and taking action!
