Women accused of witchcraft in Ghana find refuge in outpost run by sisters
Vivian Salamatu and 200 hundred other women here are bound together for life. They share each other's misfortunes and all have a similar story. They were accused of witchcraft, beaten, cast out and sent to "witch camps" that serve as havens. "When my nephew died after a short illness, everyone hated me," Salamatu explains in Dagbani, her native language. "My brothers-in-law said I was responsible, they accused me of being a witch." Dozens of elders and villagers gathered at her home to determine her innocence or guilt.
