Stori bilong Leah Ayuma

Leah Ayuma shares the challenges she experienced as a young girl and being accused by her own grandfather of having caused the sickness of a young family member. Leah felt the impact of this accusation, losing confidence in herself and being ostracised by her friends and community. Leah’s story reflects some of the burdens of growing up with a single parent and the challenges of living with an extended family. In a largely patriarchal society, the absence of a father figure impacts not only on the upbringing of a child but also the way extended family members value and treat their family. This story explores these issues including the impact of being labelled a ‘sanguma’ (sorcerer or witch) and the effect this has on individuals.
