More than 1,000 women accused of witchcraft in northern Ghana live in refuges, where they have to pay for protection from the chief who runs them. Yaba Badoe visits a camp in Gambaga and follows two women as they return to their villages. Watch the Video: http://indepthafrica.com/?p=3234

Wow, how amazing is it that even in this day and age these things are still so prevalent in africa. The plight of these so called 'witches'. The plight of such vulnerable women. One trivial incident or a coincidence can lead to a life or death situation for a person. Whilst i don't believe in witches, I don't think it's useful to question other people's beliefs and deep rooted superstitious minds and fears. I do however feel that the only way to deal with such issues is with humanity. Perhaps only through education will these people come to realise this.
