June 13

International Albinism Awareness Day was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2014 and is observed every June 13th worldwide. The day aims to draw attention to the human rights and social challenges faced by people with albinism. Advocacy groups organize educational campaigns to dispel myths and reduce discrimination. Events include seminars, community gatherings, and social media initiatives sharing personal stories and scientific information. Governments and NGOs use the day to develop policies and support programs for better healthcare and protection. The observance fosters a more inclusive society by celebrating diversity and raising global consciousness about albinism.
