Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Albinism

Albinism is one of the most misunderstood disorders on the planet. The disorder is surrounded by myths and facts without valid proofs. In some parts of the world, people consider albinos to be sterile or even cursed in life. Meanwhile, in parts of Africa, the myth is responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent children with albinism every year. Locals believe that albino body parts have magical powers that can cure them from AIDS. Albinos are hunted down, dismembered, and their body parts are sold around the country.
