In some places, election years bring a surge in these brutal attacks, as people believe their body parts bring power and wealth. But this is not just a story of fear and violence—it’s also a story of resistance and change. In this episode of The GoodViral Podcast, we sit down with Peter Ash, founder of Under the Same Sun, an organization that has played a key role in massively reducing these horrific hunts.
