Ending Witch-Hunts in India with Dr. Samantha Spence and Amit Anand
Today we talk about the complexities of witch hunting across India with advocates Dr. Samantha Spence and Dr. Amit Anand from the organization, The International Network Against Accusations of Witchcraft and Associated Harmful Practices. This conversation highlights how intersectional factors such as legislation, culture, religion, superstition, gender, and status tie into the manifestation of witchcraft fear and resultant violence in unique communities. What solutions can work on the ground? We consider: Why do we witch hunt? How do we witch hunt? How do we stop hunting witches?
