Witch Hunts Today: A Mission of Mercy in Papua New Guinea

The word “witch” might sound like something from the past, buried in history books or brought up on Halloween. But for thousands of women around the world today, being called a witch can mean violence, exile, or even death.

In this episode, we speak with Sister Lorena Jenal, a Swiss-born Franciscan who has spent over 40 years in Papua New Guinea. She walks alongside women who’ve been accused of sorcery, offering not only rescue, but healing, dignity, and hope. Sister Lorena’s story is not one of charity from afar, but of deep solidarity, standing with those whose lives are in danger and creating spaces for healing when the unthinkable happens.
