Jacobeth Sigao shares the story of how she tried to stop the torture and killing of two women who were accused of sorcery in her community as they came to her for help. She could not protect them from the mob of young men who came after them. Eventually the police arrived. One of the woman’s last plea was to look out for her children. These words held a lasting impression on Jacobeth. Jacobeth’s story is around the impact of sorcery related violence on children but it is also about the need to stand up for women and address all forms of violence against women within communities. |
