International Albinism Awareness Day

International Albinism Awareness Day was established by the United Nations in 2014 to shine a spotlight on the rights, achievements, and challenges faced by people with albinism worldwide. This important day aims to raise awareness about albinism and combat discrimination against individuals with this genetic condition. It serves as a platform to promote inclusivity, celebrate the accomplishments of people with albinism, and advocate for their rights to education, healthcare, and equal opportunities. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, International Albinism Awareness Day seeks to foster understanding, acceptance, and respect for people with albinism in all aspects of society.
