UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) is organizing
a special event in the UNHCR Visitor Centre from 16.30 to 18.00 on
Monday 6 April, to discuss the issue of witchcraft allegations and the
relevance of this phenomenon to refugee protection.
The event will start with an introduction and a film, titled 'Savings
Africa's witch children', followed by a presentation by guest speaker
Gary Foxcroft, Programme Director of the NGO Stepping Stones Nigeria.
The event will close with a discussion, followed by drinks.
A video preview of the event can be found on a new blog which

Mainstreaming in its programmes. It can be accessed at:
