They’re chained to trees. Locked in sheds. Confined and forgotten — because they have a mental health condition.

This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele talks to Human Rights Watch researchers who are fighting to end this cruel practice — and to survivors who show that with the right support, healing and dignity are possible.
