Abstract
This study aims to provide an evidence-based analysis of the persecution and hunting of women as witches in indigenous and rural societies in India. It uses a feminist perspective to examine gender systems, factors in witches being persecuted and hunted, and the existing policies against witch practice in eight districts in five states in India.
