WHAT IS THE ISSUE WE ARE DEALING WITH?

Despite best efforts to counter terrorism, it does not seem to either diminish or be contained.

In Mozambique persons with albinism are estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 individuals, a relatively small group, which is dispersed across the country. Even though albinism is a natural inherited condition, persons with albinism are subject to discrimination, exclusion, verbal and physical violent attacks, which can amount to body part and organ removal, organ trafficking and murder.
