Oxfam country director Esmie Sinapa says women are being accused of
witchcraft when the real issue is often about land rights - and many
have died because they couldn't get help soon enough.
"Papua New Guinea needs to declare an emergency on sorcery-related
violence - it is widespread," she told the inquiry into Australia's PNG
aid program in Canberra on Tuesday.

Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
