What can I do to be an advocate?
The discrimination of people with albinism in Tanzania, Africa and around the world needs to stop. The good news is, you can do something about it. Be part of the solution by helping us change the world, one step at a time.
Here are a few ways to begin your advocacy - and we'd love to hear your ideas too.
Have a viewing party
Invite people to a film screening to build awareness, and hold a discussion afterwards. Hand out copies of the About Us or MythBusting Brochures.
Viewing suggestions:
- WHITE AND BLACK: Crimes of Colour. Watch trailer | Contact us for the DVD
- The Boy from Geita. Watch trailer
- In the Shadow of The Sun Photo exhibit. View here
Host a book club
Get some friends together to read a book about the issues facing people with albinism. You can host a book club discussion in person or virtually.
