I hope you will join us live on Thursday, June 18, for what promises to be an eye-opening and important discussion:

Older Persons, Witchcraft Accusations, and Land Grabbing: A Human Rights Crisis

Time​

Around the world, thousands of older people, particularly older women, face violence, displacement, loss of property, social exclusion, and even death after being falsely accused of witchcraft. These accusations are often linked to ageism, dementia, poverty, inheritance disputes, and land grabbing.
