People with albinism in Malawi face discrimination in employment, barriers to education and social protection, and ongoing insecurity linked to harmful myths and past attacks, Human Rights Watch and the African Albinism Network said today in a joint report. The report was released ahead of International Albinism Awareness Day on June 13, 2026.
The report, “I Just Want to Work Without Fear”: Discrimination and Violations of the Right to Work for Persons with Albinism in Malawi, documents how stigma, discrimination, fear of violence, and lack of reasonable accommodation undermine the rights of people with albinism to work, education, health and social security.
