Black Albinism

As various leaders will be converging at this year's #Summit for the future to deliberate on current challenges and their solutions, we urge them to also table issues around disability rights and inclusion as this too is pertinent for the future. #OurCommonFuture #Disability

Just days after celebrating International Albinism Awareness Day a child with albinism has been tragically killed in Tanzania. It is indeed time for urgent and prudent action. We call on Tanzania to legislate and implement a national plan to end attacks on Persons with Albinism. We had a conversation with Perpetua Senkoro, an Albinism advocate in Tanzania, concerning the brutal killings of persons with albinism in Tanzania and this is what she had to say. #disability #albinismisbeautiful #albinismawareness
