Albinism Awareness Month: SA Government Calls for Equal Rights and Protection
The Department of Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities calls for an end to the discrimination, violence, and stigma faced by people with albinism.
Under the theme "Demanding our rights: protect our skin, preserve our lives," the campaign highlights the dual challenges of health issues and societal dangers, including abductions and killings.
Spokesperson Cassius Selala outlined the key goals:
🟠 raising awareness;
🟠 debunking harmful myths;
🟠 promoting inclusion in education, employment, and community life.
This effort aligns with the Southern African Development Community’s (SADC) declaration on protecting people with albinism.
