Persons with albinism are speaking out against harmful myths that link them to wealth through witchcraft. As @albinismumbrell ED Olive Namutebi notes, if these claims were true, why do many persons with albinism still face poverty & exclusion? Let's reject myths & embrace facts.

As we commemorate #InternationalAlbinismAwarenessDay 2026, we strongly condemn all forms of violence and harmful practices against persons with albinism. Having a different skin pigment does not diminish anyone’s humanity, dignity, or rights. @EstherKyozira @Mglsd_UG @SNUPA6

The myth that the body parts of persons with albinism bring wealth or good fortune is false and dangerous. We must reject discrimination, challenge harmful beliefs, and promote inclusion, respect, and protection for all.
