About International Albinism Awareness Day
Ends: Jun 13, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
International Albinism Awareness Day (IAAD) is observed annually on June 13 to raise awareness about albinism, a genetic condition that affects people worldwide, regardless of ethnicity or gender. The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on December 18, 2014, proclaiming June 13 as International Albinism Awareness Day. The first official celebration of IAAD took place in 2015.
Albinism is characterized by a lack of melanin pigment in the hair, skin, and eyes, resulting in little to no coloration. People with albinism often have pale skin, white or light-colored hair, and eye color ranging from pale blue to brown. They may also experience vision problems and are more vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer due to their lack of pigmentation.
The main objectives of International Albinism Awareness Day are:
Raise awareness: The day aims to educate the public about albinism, its causes, symptoms, and challenges faced by people living with the condition. By increasing understanding, IAAD hopes to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding albinism.
Advocate for equal rights: People with albinism often face discrimination, social exclusion, and even violence in some parts of the world. IAAD seeks to promote the rights of people with albinism and ensure they have the same opportunities.
Support and celebrate: The day is also an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of people with albinism and to support them in their endeavors.
Various organizations, governments, and individuals worldwide participate in International Albinism Awareness Day by organizing events, seminars, workshops, and social media campaigns to spread knowledge about albinism and advocate for the rights of those affected.
