On this day, October 31, Halloween
is considered a holiday in some parts of the world. Sometimes associated
with Halloween, is the idea or "witches." In truth witchcraft
accusations against women, often older women, and even children, can be
exceedingly harmful, marginalizing, violent, even deadly.
The accusations of witchcraft can
also have ulterior motives such as wanting a woman's land, trafficking of
children, charging high fees to exorcise evil spirits, or
reflecting jealousies. The witchcraft claims are usually directed at
persons most vulnerable. Now, in modern time, it is important to advocate
against all witchcraft accusations, which are violations of human rights.
