Barring any last minute changes, the Advocacy For Alleged Witches (AFAW) will on Saturday, August 10, celebrate the 2024 World Day Against Witch Hunts.
AFAW is a non-governmental organization that works and campaigns to defend the rights and dignity of alleged witches and end all forms of human rights abuses linked to witchcraft allegations in African countries.
The Executive Director of AFAW, Dr. Leo Igwe in a release made available to Journalists, stated that the 2024 World Day Against Witch Hunts would commence with an Exhibition at Villa Maria Guest House, Wetheral Road, Owerri at 9am.
He said the event would feature a lecture on the topic: Challenging the Roles of Religious Leaders in Witch Hunts in Imo State.
He noted that there would be psycho social support and counselling for victims and their families.
The release therefore, enjoins victims of witchcraft accusation to come and share their experiences.
It further invites members of the public to be part of the celebration.
