Albinism is a rare, non-contagious, genetically inherited difference present at birth.
People with albinism face multiple forms of discrimination worldwide. Albinism is still profoundly misunderstood, socially and medically.
The physical appearance of persons with albinism is often the object of erroneous beliefs and myths influenced by superstition, which foster their marginalization and social exclusion. This leads to various forms of stigma and discrimination.
