Ghana: Accused of witchcraft, hundreds of women banished to camps

Ghana is one of the last countries in the world that still has camps for « witches ». Some 300 women falsely accused of witchcraft are spread across five camps nationwide. Shunned by society, they often live in dire conditions. Some people accuse a woman of witchcraft to avoid paying back a debt or when a relationship fails. Two NGOs, however, are trying to get these women rehabilitated in their former villages. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24’s Wassim Cornet.
