@ActionAidGhana @YoungUrbanWomen External Debt cancellation is needed to address problem in the short and medium term so give our governments the fiscal breathing space to serve the population.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@ActionAidGhana @YoungUrbanWomen The interest on some of the loans for countries like Ghana are far higher than some countries in Europe. We need fairness in loan or debt administration.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@ActionAidGhana @YoungUrbanWomen We need debt cancellation to create the fiscal space for our governments to provide the public services needed to address inequality.

[ActionAid Ghana @ActionAidGhana]

Ghanaian civil society organisations are calling on international lenders to cancel enough of Ghana’s debt to make it sustainable.

This is a reflection on the status of women in Ghana.

[HARRISON @harrison_hini]

Why is it that only women who suffer outmoded cultural practice.

One thing I don’t get is, do the “alleged witches” lose their “witchcraft” when taken to the camp?

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@ActionAidGhana We need a law, education in addition to the closure of camps.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

We can have welfare homes for vulnerable and poor people but not for alleged witches. This practice of witchcraft allegations must stop.

[HARRISON @harrison_hini]

What do you think about turning witch camps into welfare homes for alleged witches? #Condemnedwithoutatrial

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

A system of oppression. Hiding behind tradition to violate the rights of women especially the weaker.

[Abigail Tetteh @_abigailtetteh]

Indeed, these accussations have deep cultural roots...Change is coming and together we can change the status quo! @ActionAidGhana #IYD2020 #Condemnedwithoutatrial #justiceforakuadenteh

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@QuophiKelvin @ActionAidGhana @africa_wewant United we stand. With political will we can do it.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

The state machinery is not protecting people at risk and excluded enough.

[Abdul-Baasitt Ibn Abdul-Kareem @AbdulBaasittIbn]

The 1992 constitution mandates the state to protect all citizens why are some people kept and abondened in camps as witches

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

This is due to patriarchal systems.

[Yakubu Alelemoma @Alelemoma]

Why are the camps called witches camp and not wizard camp ?

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

In 2012 majority of alleged witches were widows. How many men suffer similar fate upon the death of a spouse?

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@ActionAidGhana @IncubationTv @_SelormAdzimah Women in the camps are condemned without trial. ActionAid's 2012 report gives account of life in the camps and what sent them there.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

@ActionAidGhana We also need a law a law to punish perpetrators of witchcraft allegations.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

The state has a responsibility to protect women accused of witchcraft. We need to make witchcraft acussation or allegations
unlawful in Ghana to serve as a disincentive.

[Margaret Brew-Ward @MBrewward]

Only women from families with less resources and no well resourced mail to protect them. Women's lives matter irrespective of the age. Witchcraft allegations are gendered in nature.
