A series of attacks and crimes targeting people with albinism has been reported in Madagascar.

According to authorities, a dozen people have been arrested.

People with this disability and their supporting lawyers believe a large sensitization campaign is necessary to dismantle beliefs attributing supernatural powers to albinos.

This phenomenon has revived fear among people affected by albinism, who feel threatened and traumatized.

Organizations defending people with albinism are calling for cases to be tried in Antananarivo, fearing pressure on local jurisdictions in provinces.

Lawyers and organizations are also demanding large sensitization campaigns to fight against discrimination and stigmatization of people with albinism.
