The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North, Hon. Ewurabena Aubynn has called on the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and other relevant institutions to strengthen policies and programs that promote inclusion, protect the rights of persons with albinism, and create equal opportunities for them to thrive in society.
Delivering a statement on the floor of the House to mark International Albinism Awareness Day, observed annually on June 13, under the theme, “Proudly Wear My Skin: Celebrating All Skin Tones” she emphasised the need to safeguard the rights, dignity, and welfare of persons living with albinism, noting that many continue to face discrimination, prejudice, and social exclusion.
She urged stakeholders to take practical steps to improve the welfare of persons with albinism and reaffirm the nation’s commitment to building a society where every citizen is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of appearance or genetic condition.
Hon. Aubynn further called on all Ghanaians to work together to eliminate discrimination, promote inclusion, and ensure that persons with albinism can live, learn, work, and contribute fully to national development.
