Witchcraft accusations continue to lead to death around the world. Join us for a rousing discussion of this global crisis happening now.

Welcome to Witch Hunt, the podcast raising awareness of the violent reality of modern witchcraft accusations. Rather than being a relic of the past, witchcraft accusations remain a devastating issue in many parts of the world, leading to violence, ostracization, economic deprivation, mental health crises, and even death.

In recognition of this global crisis, August 10th has been designated World Day Against Witch Hunts. This year’s theme, "Exposing the Witchfinders," focuses on those who incite violence by suggesting witchcraft as the cause of problems or identifying individuals as witches.

Today's episode examines the role of witchfinders—individuals exploiting faith and belief for personal gain. We’ll explore who they are, their operations, motivations, and the profound impact they have on their victims. Including key insights in the voices of global advocates who have been guests on our podcast, we invite you to join us as we uncover the stark reality behind witchcraft accusations and advocate for a world free from such violence.
