CARE FOR CHILDREN KNOWN AS SORCERERS IN THE CITY OF BUKAVU

In the course of this work we have tried to show that the phenomenon of witch children is an often gratuitous accusation that women make against their own children or the children of others for various reasons. When such accusations circulate in our communities they become a source of social conflict hence the intervention of law enforcement officers notably the police and/or the army to restore a climate of peace and harmony between opposing families.When the climate of disagreement persists around witchcraft and in order to find common ground between the individuals and families in conflict the child is taken to a support structure for holistic care. In the face of this situation of accusing children of witchcraft we are witnessing a flagrant violation of the rights of the child recognized by national and international legal instruments.
