Open Doors

Open Doors is an organization that monitors and reports on the persecution of Christians worldwide. They are newsworthy due to the recent release of their World Watch List, which highlights the nations where Christians face the most severe persecution. Recent reports indicate a growing wave of persecution against Christians, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, with Nigeria identified as the epicenter of global killings of Christians. The organization's data is being cited in discussions about religious freedom and international relations, especially in the context of US foreign policy and counter-terrorism efforts in regions where Christians are targeted. Their work provides data and insights into the challenges faced by Christians globally, informing advocacy and awareness efforts.
