GHANA WITCH CAMP

People in Ghana still believed in witchcraft very much. They exiled those women who were accused of being witches to these witch camps. There are at least six of them, housing a total of around 1000 women. Such camps can be found at Bonyasi, Gambaga, Gnani, Kpatinga, Kukuo and Naabuli, all in Northern Ghana. Some of the camps are thought to have been set up over 100 years ago.The life in those witch camps is miserable. They lived in poverty and hunger.
​
To me, I am shocked that such things still happened in modern society, these witches are figured in my heroic story.
