A 2025 Amnesty International report on Ghana's so called witch camps, four informal settlements in the country's north where people, overwhelmingly older women, banished from their home communities after a witchcraft accusation, live without reliable water, food, shelter or medical care. Based on Amnesty's own field visits and interviews, it documents more than 500 people residing in the four camps at the time of those visits and calls for their protection and for reparation.

Reliability Tier
2
Reliability tier 2: a long established international human rights organization with an advocacy interest in the outcome, not a neutral outlet, but its figures here are drawn from its own researchers' direct field visits to the four named camps in November 2023 and April 2024, checkable against other NGO and academic reporting on the same camps.
