白化病往往被神秘化，造成误解，危言耸听。完全误信用白化病患者器官泡成的药液、制作的护身符有魔力，导致一些国家对这类遗骸的需求上升。白化病患者因而惨遭袭击、绑架、杀害，甚至还被盗墓掘骨。
Thanks to the long history of discrimination and stigmatization of albinism, in some places, people with this condition may live in abject poverty, without access to basic services like accommodation, healthcare and education.
对白化病的歧视和鄙视由来已久，在某些地方，患者可能处于赤贫状态，得不到住房、保健和教育等基本服务。
The 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda pledges to leave no one behind. That includes people with albinism. The cycle of attacks, discrimination and poverty must be broken.
《2030年可持续发展议程》承诺不让任何人掉队。这包括白化病患者。袭击、歧视和贫穷的循环必须打破。
On this second International Albinism Awareness Day, I welcome the appointment of the first Independent Expert on the human rights of people with albinism.
