Africa in general is well known for its cultural diversity, beliefs and taboos. But, have these practices and beliefs always contributed to the well-being of the society? In many African countries albinism is considered a curse. Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the total or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. Due to their skin tone, people with albinism are often persecuted, tortured, insulted and put aside by a society of the Stone Age. One which tends to believe in myths that goes against all the virtues of human being. In certain parts of Africa, such as Mali, Tanzania and Burundi, being albino can mean dealing not only with prejudices but it could eventually get you killed.
