Historic OHRC Intervention Against Witch-Hunting in Odisha: Use of 'Dahani' Term Declared Criminal; Directs Amendments & Awareness Drive

Landmark step by Odisha Human Rights Commission (OHRC)! In a bold move to eradicate witch-hunting, OHRC declares the derogatory use of 'Dahani' (witch) as a criminal offence, directs Home Department & Women & Child Development Dept to amend the Odisha Prevention of Witch-Hunting Act, 2013, ban offensive/violence-inciting usage of the term, launch statewide awareness campaigns, and strengthen protections for victims, especially women in rural/tribal areas. A major push for human rights & gender justice! #WitchHunting#OHRC
