Several witch camps in the Northern Region have refused to accept men into their care for fear of being beaten or over powered.
The men have been branded upright as against poor old feeble women who have been tagged as witches and kept in camps without any proof.
Over 500 women now live in small cottages on the outskirts of the communities struggling to survive but unwilling to go home for fear of being lynched.
Though this is against their human rights, not enough has been done to help free these women from their plights.
Joy News’ Justice Baidoo who visited the Kpatinga witch camp in an interview with a witch doctor, Musa Adam Sampa, explained that witch camps always refuse men because they fear the men will overpower them and harm them in the process.
“We take people who are accused of being witches but the only issue is that we don’t take men in this camp else they will one day attack us and take over this place” he said.
But General Secretary of the Pentecostal Council, Rev Emmanuel Barrigah is challenging the church to rise up against the barbaric treatment against women.
He is calling for renewed efforts at ending the menace of condemning women to so-called witch camps.
