We are dedicated to serving as the worldwide voice of persons with albinism. Our mission is to advance and protect their rights, promote social inclusion, and ensure recognition at every level of society.
The Global Albinism Alliance ensures that the albinism community has a voice in key international forums. In dermatology, we work closely with the International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS) and other global partners to improve skin health, raise awareness, and advance lasting progress for persons with albinism worldwide.
Human Rights Advocacy
We actively support the United Nations Mandate on the Enjoyment of Human Rights by Persons with Albinism, engaging directly with UN programs, agencies, and mechanisms, including the Human Rights Council. In addition, we contribute to the advocacy initiatives of global networks such as the World Skin Health Coalition and Rare Diseases International.
Access to Sunscreen
Access to affordable, high-quality sunscreen is essential for preventing skin cancer among persons with albinism (PWA). The Global Albinism Alliance is committed to advocating for coordinated action from all stakeholders to make this lifesaving resource universally available. By addressing this urgent need, we aim to safeguard the health and well-being of this particularly vulnerable community.
International Albinism Awareness Day
On 18 December 2014, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/69/170, designating 13 June as International Albinism Awareness Day, effective from 2015. Each year, the Global Albinism Alliance organizes a range of activities to celebrate this day and to raise awareness about albinism around the world.
