Witchcraft

in the western world is prominent one day a year: Halloween, yet in Africa it is a harsh reality that effects the lives of thousands. It may seem comical that in Swaziland it is law that Witches cannot fly there brooms over 150m. But it is no joke, at the moment there are approximately 15,000 women in Northern Gaza, accused of witchcraft and forced to seek sanctum in one of the 6 refugee camps. It is believed God reduces the potency of there magic in these places.

Being forced to leave there family, friends and home, they now belong and work for the Chief. Leave from the camp can only be given by him. This way of living is brutal, but it is the best option, in order to save themselves from brutal deaths such as: beating, decapitation or burning, this is what faces many women who refuse to live. This is my visual portrayal of an African women accused of witchcraft.
