“When my nephew died after a short illness, everyone hated me. My brothers-in-law said it was my fault, they accused me of being a witch. The villagers, led by my brothers-in-law, attacked me with clubs and set my house on fire. They wanted to kill me and my children.”This is the testimony of a African woman.
