17:07Now PlayingThe Pan-African Parliament, a legislative body comprising 48 African countries, is taking a bold stance against witchcraft-related violence. They're developing groundbreaking guidelines to protect victims of ritual attacks and prevent the abuse of those accused of witchcraft. The innovative measures include:
• Criminalizing violence resulting from witchcraft accusations.
• Banning the gruesome trafficking of body parts for rituals.
• Launching community education and awareness campaigns.
Despite scarce data and unreported cases, violence and abuse against people accused of witchcraft are widespread throughout Africa. Contrary to popular belief, witchcraft-related attacks in Africa are not decreasing but appear to be rising, as noted by some experts. Over the past decade, witchcraft-related incidents have haunted over 20,000 people across 60 countries. A survey conducted across 95 countries and territories found that 40% of all respondents believe in witchcraft, and this belief transcends socioeconomic boundaries. The most vulnerable groups, including children, women, people with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with albinism, are now gaining attention and hope for a safer future.
