Every June 13th is not just another day on the calendar. Since 2015, this day has become a beacon of hope, inclusion, and awareness for thousands of people around the world.

That's right, we are talking about International Albinism Awareness Day!

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) officially proclaimed International Albinism Awareness Day on December 18, 2014. Wondering why?

Well, it's all about fighting the discrimination and violence that people with albinism often face. They have spent years, even decades, dealing with serious rights violations, and the UN decided it was time to say "enough is enough!"




But what is albinism?




Albinism is a genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin produced in the skin, hair, and eyes. This lack of pigmentation can lead to vision problems and a high sensitivity to sunlight. Additionally, in some regions of the world, people with albinism face extreme discrimination and even violence.

Every year, the International Albinism Awareness Day invites us to reflect with a new theme.




Why is it Important?




We know, there are a million days dedicated to all kinds of causes, but the International Albinism Awareness Day has its own special touch. It is a powerful reminder that there is still work to be done to protect people with albinism from discrimination and violence. It is also a call for everyone to promote inclusion and respect for their human rights.

How can you join this noble cause? Here are some ideas:

- Education: Organize talks or workshops in your school or workplace community.

- Social Media: Use platforms like Twitter or Instagram to share information and experiences with the hashtag #IAAD.

- Events: Attend or even organize events like walks or illuminate monuments in colors related to albinism.

So, what do you think? Are you ready to join the cause and make noise about International Albinism Awareness Day? Remember, every gesture counts. Let's celebrate diversity together, promote inclusion, and protect the rights of all. See you on June 13th!
