from Amnesty in Africa · host Amnesty International

For decades, hundreds of women in the north of Ghana have been accused of witchcraft—a label that has stripped them of their homes, families, and dignity. Branded as outcasts, many are banished to remote camps where they endure extreme poverty, inadequate shelter, and limited access to food, clean water, and healthcare. A year ago a report by Amnesty International, Branded for Life: How Witchcraft Accusations Lead to Human Rights Violations of Hundreds of Women in North Ghana, exposed the systemic failures that leave these women trapped in cycles of abuse and neglect. In this episode – we explore their stories, which reveal the deep trauma of banishment, the struggle for survival, and the resilience that keeps them going. More reading; Read their full stories in our report Branded for Life and join the call for justice. Watch our virtual exhibition,
