Shadows of Prejudice: Confronting Violence Against People With Albinism in Tanzania

Once, during a flight to an overseas destination, I sat next to a Sudanese man whose impassioned words left a lasting impression. He confided, “I am deeply ashamed of certain practices in my country. You see, women can be publicly flogged for what is deemed indecent behaviour. The existence of such laws sometimes makes me hesitate to admit my nationality, as I hail from a place where women are treated akin to livestock, subjected to public floggings and relegated to toil in the fields.” 

His pause was heavy with disappointment, etched visibly on his face.
