In 2023, the AWAs program commemorates the United Nations' International Albinism Awareness Day with the theme "Inclusion is Strength," emphasizing that no one should be left behind. In certain countries, individuals with albinism face segregation from education, social activities, cultural resources, and decision-making processes, often being abandoned by family and friends. Some endure skin cancer and pass away unnoticed. Persons with Albinism are human beings who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be included equally in all aspects of life.
