International Albinism Awareness Day is observed annually on June 13th to raise awareness about the genetic condition of albinism and the challenges faced by individuals with this condition. Albinism is a rare, non-contagious, genetically inherited condition characterized by a lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. People with albinism often face discrimination, stigma, and social exclusion due to misconceptions and myths surrounding the condition.

This day aims to celebrate the diversity and uniqueness of individuals with albinism and promote a better understanding of the condition. It also advocates for the rights and protection of people with albinism, especially in countries where they are at risk of discrimination, violence, and even ritual killings. Through education, advocacy, and support, International Albinism Awareness Day seeks to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and empowerment for individuals with albinism worldwide.

The International Albinism Awareness Day webpage features a collection of images highlighting the beauty and resilience of individuals with albinism. These images showcase the diversity and strength of the albinism community, breaking stereotypes and prejudices associated with the condition. By raising awareness through visual storytelling, the webpage aims to inspire compassion, respect, and empathy for individuals with albinism and create a more inclusive and accepting society.
