Calls Mount for ‘Child Trafficking’ Investigation into Madonna’s Malawi Orphanage

Calls are mounting on the government of Malawi to launch a “child trafficking” investigation into the orphanage run by pop star Madonna that is based in the southeastern African country.

A charitable organization called the Ethiopian World Federation (EWF) is demanding the government investigates Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity.

EWF accuses Madonna’s organization of being involved in human trafficking, sexual exploitation, fraud, and exposing children to “homosexual and transgender” propaganda.

Raising Malawi, a charity for orphans, was founded by Madonna and “spiritual leader” Michael Berg in 2006.

The organization says it focuses on education and medical care for children in Malawi.

The EWF was founded in New York in 1937 to help Ethiopians who settled abroad, especially by protecting them from exploitation and fraud.

The group’s portfolio eventually expanded to cover other African populations and the Caribbean.

Madonna adopted four children from Malawi beginning in the 2000s, occasionally fighting tempestuous battles against Malawian officials.

Officials argued that Madonna did not meet the adoption requirements, such as residency in Malawi for at least 18 continuous months.

Malawian critics accused the singer of using her phenomenal wealth and influence to “bully” government officials and demand “VIP treatment.”

On Wednesday, Malawi’s Nyasa Times reported that the EWF filed a lengthy petition with Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera to investigate Raising Malawi and Madonna herself.

The petition asked Chakwera to “restrict her and her associates’ accessibility to Africa and to African children as a precautionary measure until a thorough investigation is done into child trafficking, sex exploitation, sexual slavery, adoption reversal, threat of coercion, fraud, deception, and abuse of power or vulnerability.”

The petition reminded Chakwera that Malawi’s penal code bans “indecent practices between females” and inducements for children to behave as such.

Madonna’s controversial 1992 softcore pornography book SEX was presented as evidence that the singer is deeply interested in promoting such practices.

The petitioners felt that book alone should have been enough to block Madonna’s ultimately successful effort to adopt Malawian children in 2006.

The investigation demanded by the EWF would focus on Raising Malawi’s orphanage.

The petition accuses Madonna’s orphanage of conducting “social experiments on vulnerable African children in Malawi.”

It also alleges that the organization conducted “experiments” on Madonna’s alleged psychological and sexual exploitation of her adopted Malawian son David Banda.

“Pictures are awash on social media of David Banda wearing female clothes, makeup and wearing earrings – whilst the two holding hands like two lovers,” the Nyasa Times noted.

The EWF ran through some dismaying statistics about human trafficking and sexual abuse in Africa and around the world, pointing to poor vetting of adoptive parents as a major factor in child abuse.

The petition complained that Malawian officials did not perform an adequate “social background check” on Madonna when they approved her adoptions and did not properly consider the danger that she would use the children “as a social experiment in response to the heavy LGBTQ community push for sodomy in America.”

In 2018, the BBC noted that Madonna’s adoptions have long been a sore spot with some Malawians.

The people of Malawi found the singer’s obsession with accumulating Malawian children somewhat disturbing.

They also felt the government waived too many of its adoption requirements to accommodate her.

Madonna’s camp, in turn, accuses the Malawian government of holding an irrational “grudge” against her charity.

The EWF is not the only activist group to warn that celebrity adoptions could encourage sexual abuse and human trafficking.

A children’s charity in Malawi called Eye of the Child made the same argument in 2017 after Madonna adopted two young girls.

“We are really putting our children in a big danger. (Madonna’s act) definitely would facilitate trafficking of children through (encouraging more) adoption,” Eye of the Child director Maxwell Matewere told Reuters in 2017.

“Most of the adoption cases that have been allowed by social welfare and the high court have been questionable in terms of the processes,” Matewere said.

“There is a lot of corruption.

“The Madonna adoption would basically just open up for more children to be recruited,” he warned.

“You are sending a wrong signal to the orphanages.”

These critics said that if governments waived adoption rules to accommodate celebrities, other applicants would demand waivers from the rules as well.

Such moves eliminate safeguards against impoverished children getting adopted for sinister purposes.

One activist from Uganda told Reuters his country has prosecuted cases of children being adopted so their organs could be harvested and sold.

Another concern was that foreign celebs brandishing huge sums of money would inspire impoverished parents to simply sell their children.

Both Madonna and another celebrity adopter, actress Angelina Jolie, have been accused of adopting children whose parents were still alive, apparently unwittingly in Jolie’s case.

Madonna makes the opposite argument in interviews.

She accuses governments in the developing world of making life unnecessarily difficult for orphans by making it difficult for foreigners to adopt them.

She has denounced some of the adoption requirements as irrational and “sexist,” citing her difficulty in adopting from Malawi in 2006 because she had recently become divorced.

Madonna and her four adopted children were back in Malawi last week.

They were vacationing in the country Madonna describes as her “second home” and making appearances to promote her Raising Malawi charity.
