Witchcraft accusation in the modern world

From sales of body parts in Sierra Leone to belief in child possession in the UK, this podcast contains powerful stories from those at the forefront of the fight against harmful practices associated with beliefs in witchcraft in the 21st century.

In this special episode of ‘This is Lancaster’, Lancaster University’s Charlotte Baker Professor of French and Critical Disability Studies in the School of Global Affairs, hosts the International Network Against Accusations of Witchcraft and Associated Harmful Practices on our campus in the North West of England.

During this fascinating event, barristers, campaigners, academics and impacted communities from around the world gathered at Lancaster University to leverage their collective power, raising awareness of existing laws and sharing knowledge to protect people across the world from harm.
