**Dispatches: Breaking Educational Barriers for Children with Albinism**

*By | September 5, 2023*

*Azemap Organization and Human Rights Watch join forces to support children with albinism in Mozambique*

As the school year commences and children around the world prepare to return to their classrooms, it is essential to reflect on the obstacles that some children face in their pursuit of education. In Mozambique’s Tete province, children with albinism have historically confronted prejudice, discrimination, and even violence due to deeply entrenched fear and superstitions surrounding their condition. The alarming prevalence of abductions, mutilations, and killings has cast a dark shadow over their lives and posed significant barriers to their education and inclusion in society.

However, amidst this plight, there is also hope. Azemap, a volunteer organization committed to supporting people with albinism, has partnered with Human Rights Watch in a remarkable initiative to dismantle these barriers and cultivate acceptance. They have created evocative murals in Tete province that convey a powerful message of unity and equal rights. At the heart of these murals is the story of Josina, a young girl with albinism, and her best friend Luisa. Through the use of art, their murals promote the message that people with albinism are equal members of society and deserve the same opportunities as their peers.

Josina’s journey exemplifies the transformative impact that proper support and resources can have on a child’s education and self-esteem. Azemap donated a pair of prescription glasses to Josina, enabling her to engage more effectively in her studies and bolstering her confidence. The difference these glasses have made in her life is evident and serves as a reminder of the tangible and positive outcomes that can result from accessible resources and support. Furthermore, the involvement of Josina’s teacher, Revina, highlights the crucial role that dedicated educators can play in fostering equality and human rights. Through Revina’s support, Josina has overcome bullying and is thriving in her educational journey.

However, true, lasting change also necessitates government action. Mozambique and other governments in the region must prioritize allocating resources towards sensitization programs, providing accessible learning materials, implementing teacher training programs, and enacting inclusive policies. These initiatives must align with the recommendations outlined in the African Union’s Plan of Action on Albinism. By investing in these endeavors, governments can forge an environment where children with albinism, like Josina, can not only survive but thrive.

Josina’s story reminds us of the potential for change and underscores the imperative of ensuring every child’s right to education and inclusion. Children with albinism should not be denied these fundamental rights merely because they possess a genetic condition. Society must dismantle the barriers that hinder their educational aspirations and support their journey towards empowerment.

In conclusion, the partnership between Azemap and Human Rights Watch serves as a beacon of hope for children with albinism in Mozambique. Their collaborative efforts to break down educational barriers through evocative murals and tangible support have already yielded positive outcomes in the lives of children like Josina. Now it is up to governments and communities to join this cause and drive impactful change. The time has come for swift action and unwavering commitment to ensuring that no child is left behind. Let us create an inclusive world where every child, regardless of their circumstances, can receive the education and opportunities they rightly deserve.
