The World Watch List explained
The World Watch List (WWL) is an independently audited ranking of 50 countries where persecution of Christians for religious reasons is worst. The list covers persecution of Christians of all denominations in that entire country. The focus is on persecution for faith, not persecution for political, economic, social, ethnic or accidental reasons.
Open Doors has been monitoring persecution of Christians worldwide since the 1970s and today, the World Watch List provides a comprehensive snapshot of the problem facing many followers of Jesus across the world.
Most importantly though, the list isn’t simply an academic exercise. Behind the stats and figures lie the fate of over 360 million members of our worldwide Church family. It’s an essential tool in helping us pray and act for change.
