Ghana. Des centaines de personnes accusées de sorcellerie ont besoin de toute urgence de protection et de réparation
Les autorités ghanéennes ont failli à respecter et protéger les droits humains de centaines de victimes d’accusations de sorcellerie et d’attaques rituelles contraintes de fuir leurs communautés par peur pour leur vie, a déclaré Amnesty International dans un nouveau rapport 👉 https://t.co/KazBl1FQqP

Cette pratique profondément enracinée a entraîné des souffrances, des discriminations et des violences indicibles. Agissez maintenant pour exhorter le président John Mahama à promulguer la loi contre les accusations de sorcellerie afin de protéger ces personnes vulnérables.

A new report by @amnesty, "Branded for Life: How Witchcraft Accusations Lead to Human Rights Violations of Hundreds of Women in North Ghana," exposes the systemic failures that leave these women trapped in cycles of abuse and neglect.

These are not just stories, they are lived realities. Take a glimpse into the lives of these women accused of witchcraft, through our latest report and join the call to end this injustice.
