International Albinism Awareness Day is celebrated to raise awareness about albinism, a genetic condition characterized by a lack of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes, and to combat the discrimination and stigma often faced by individuals with albinism. The day aims to educate the public about the challenges people with albinism encounter, promote their rights, and highlight the importance of social inclusion and equal opportunities. It also serves to advocate for the health and safety of individuals with albinism, addressing issues such as discrimination, violence, and barriers to accessing proper medical care and education.
