到目前为止，有充分的证据表明，过去三十年已经有数千名妇女被指控为女巫，其中大部分是非洲和印度妇女，并被杀害、致残或被赶出她们的社区。自发生以来，这些袭击不断扩大到新的地区和新的群体，还针对儿童和老年人。长期以来只有记者和少数人类学家报道过巫术杀戮，最近引起了人权组织和联合国的关注。但它们背后的驱动力及其影响，尤其是对女性的影响，仅得到了肤浅的分析。此外，很明显，地方或全球一级几乎没有承诺调查其原因并找到补救措施，尽管人们认识到改善妇女和老年人的经济地位，例如通过实行养老金计划，会产生积极的影响。
It is by now well documented that the past three decades have seen thousands of mostly African and Indian women accused of being witches and killed or maimed or chased out of their communities. Since their inception, these attacks have been expanding to new regions and new groups, also targeting children and elderly men. Long reported only by journalists and a handful of anthropologists, witchcraft killings have lately come to the attention of human rights organizations and the United Nations. But the driving forces behind them and their implications, especially for women, are only superficially analyzed. It is clear, moreover, that there is hardly a commitment, at a local or global level, to investigate their causes and find remedies against them, although it is recognized that improving the economic status of women and the elderly, for example through the introduction of pension schemes, would have a positive effect.
