"It’s been called “Gendercide,” and “Femicide” (the witch-hunts that begin in the 1400’s and went on for nearly three centuries). Approximately 80% of those accused and convicted of witchcraft were female and the relationship of “witch-hunting” to “woman-hunting” seems well-founded -- as does the conclusion that the witch-hunts were “sex-related” and “sex-specific.”

“Anyone who thinks that witchcraft belongs only to our past and imaginations should think again. Witch-hunts still claim thousands of women every year. Witch-hunts in South Africa have become “a national scourge. Witchcraft-related problems have been reported within the past year in Papua New Guinea, Tanzania, Kenya, Congo and Saudi Arabia. Recently in Uganda, a proposed law to execute homosexual women and men sounds like modern witch-hunting to me.(-Marilyn Campbell)
