AFRUCA

Who we are

OUR MISSION

We promote the well-being and protection of children and families in black and ethnic communities across the UK using a culturally-competent approach. We provide a range of prevention and early intervention services to address child abuse linked to cultural practices, child trafficking, modern slavery and exploitation. We work with others to influence policy and improve practices. We are based in London and Manchester.

The 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of The Child and various UK Child Protection legislations provide the foundation for all our work at AFRUCA. We aim to promote the best interests of the child in all our activities. Our stance is that culture and religion should never be a reason to abuse children.
