Across the north of Ghana, hundreds of women are living in makeshift camps after being banished from their homes. Accused of witchcraft—often after the death of a relative or a troubling dream—these women are targeted for who they are: older, poor, widowed, or outspoken. Their exile is not only a cultural injustice but a violation of their most basic human rights.
This document captures their voices, exposes the systemic failures that allow this abuse, and calls for action. It is a tribute to their resilience and a demand for justice.
