In northern Ghana, hundreds of women accused of witchcraft are living in open-air prisons. Rejected by their families and communities, these women are forced to seek refuge in "witch camps", where living conditions are extremely difficult. NGOs and politicians are now working to close these inhumane camps and criminalise accusations of witchcraft. FRANCE 24's Julia Guggenheim and Damien Koffi report for Pool Africa.
Several women accused of witchcraft have been brutally murdered in Ghana in recent years. One such incident five years ago caused a national outcry. Since then, a coalition of NGOs and politicians have been working to criminalise accusations of witchcraft and close the "witch camps".
