- Description
- This comparative analysis examines the phenomenon of witch hunting as an organized crime against women in India. It explores the similarities between witch hunting and organized crime, shedding light on the structural, socio-cultural, and legal aspects of this alarming practice. The analysis delves into the systematic targeting of women, the role of patriarchal power dynamics, economic motivations, legal frameworks, and the profound impact on victims. This exploration aims to enhance understanding of the complex dynamics surrounding witch-hunting as an organized crime against women in the Indian context. Witch-hunting, a deeply rooted, superstition-based practice continues to plague several regions of India. This practice has fostered another category of gender-based violence, making women the primary victims of witch-hunts over time. The paper delves into the prevalent issue of witch-hunting, focusing on its organized nature and thus, drawing a synonymity between witch-hunts and organized crimes. The paper also aims to analyze the various factors contributing to the organization of witch-hunting and its implications on women's rights and societal development. By examining historical contexts, cultural beliefs, socio-economic factors, and legal frameworks, this research seeks to shed light on the complex nature of this crime and propose strategies for its eradication. 2023, Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities.
