This week's Skin Spectrum Weekly newsletter from the Skin Spectrum Summit highlights an important new report on the human rights issues facing people with #albinism worldwide. The report examines the widespread discrimination, stigma, and violence that persons with albinism continue to experience in many countries. It identifies key gaps and limitations in implementing existing international human rights protections. Among the key findings: -> Harmful societal myths and superstitions persist, fueling attacks, mutilation, and even slayings targeting this population -> Access to basic public services such as healthcare and education remains severely limited in many regions The report calls on governments to take concrete actions, including allocating resources for #healthcare, vision care, and #sun_protection for this group and launching public awareness campaigns to combat stigma and misinformation. Skin Spectrum Weekly is created by Chronicle Companies with support from Bausch Health Companies Inc. #skinhealthforall #purposedrivendermatology #skinspectrumsummit #sss2024 https://lnkd.in/gGpcTZzX
