killing of albinos Tanzania

It is so sad to say this but in reality Tanzania is among the top countries who have higher number of people living with albinism.each day a new number of albinos is increasing but there is one major problem facing them.people living with albinism face a lot of problems including isolation, brutality and killings.

Factors contributing
witchcraft is a major factor
  • witchdoctors have lured a lot of people by making them believe that for one to become a successful in life they must bring to them any organ of an albino to them so that they can make for them traditional charms.
  • we call  it 'irizi' in swahili, its is  believed to to brick good luck, protection and wealth but all of them are forgetting that they are killing innocent people who also have the right to live like other people. but we should appreciate for the effort the government is trying to do by ensuring that the people doing this things are taken to courts and sentenced to jail.
What to do
  • The government should create awareness to the people by using the media and press that killing and torturing of albino is against human right and that they are just normal people like other people 
  • the government should enforce and implement laws that are going to protect the right of the albino and also they should provide tight security.
