I was accused of being a witch | Age International

60-year-old Lucy was accused of witchcraft after a dispute over a piece of land.

Soon after the accusation, Lucy was brutally attacked by men with machetes, and has been left permanently scarred. Lucky to escape with her life, Lucy tells us her story.

Every year, thousands of women in Tanzania are attacked following accusations of witchcraft. The attacks are often motivated by arguments about inheritance, land or money, and are often perpetrated against vulnerable older women who live alone.

Age International works with older women to protect them from these accusations, and to support survivors. You can read more stories here: http://bit.ly/2vjDlGj
