Land disputes in Gusiiland: Witchcraft Accusations and violence against Elderly Women
In traditionally patriarchal societies, land ownership becomes a big cause of conflict especially when women hold the rights to ownership.
In the recent past, Kenya has faced cases of violence against women as a result of land dispute. One of the affected communities is the Abagusii with the victims being mostly elderly women accused of witchcraft.
In this episode of The Kenyanist, Kamau Wairuri hosts Agatha Gichana, a lawyer, practicing journalist and women rights activist who is also a member of the Abagusii community.
Having written extensively on the issue based on research and her personal accounts, she shares more insight on the topic and discusses potential solutions.
