Children Accused of Witchcraft: An Anthropological Study of Contemporary Practices in Africa

Children Accused of Witchcraft: An Anthropological Study of Contemporary Practices in Africa, Aleksandra Cimpric's 2010 report for UNICEF's West and Central Africa Regional Office, is a field study documenting present day child witchcraft accusations, abandonment and violence across the region. Its authority rests on Cimpric's own anthropological fieldwork commissioned by UNICEF specifically to document and address this ongoing harm. Its limit is that as a UNICEF commissioned report it is oriented toward child protection advocacy alongside description, and its regional scope does not cover practices outside West and Central Africa. Cite it for the documented contemporary practices in that region; a claim about a different region needs its own dedicated source.
