It is the story of women who, stigmatized as witches, narrowly escaped death. To this day, women all over the world are victims of violence based on the belief in witchcraft; in Africa alone, there are thousands. In the north of Ghana, in Gambaga and Gushiegu, Ann-Christine Woehrl met women, who suffered this fate. Abandoned by their families and forced to leave their villages, they found refuge in so-called witch camps. With her conceptual series of portraits against a black background, the photographer sensitively depicts who these women are – in all their dignity and with all their pride.
