International Albinism Awareness Day is observed every year on June 13 to promote the rights, safety, and dignity of people living with albinism. Recognized by the United Nations, this day aims to challenge harmful stereotypes, reduce discrimination, and increase public understanding of the condition. It serves as a platform to highlight human rights issues, encourage inclusive healthcare and education, and advocate for equal treatment. The date was officially declared by the UN General Assembly in 2014, and the first observance took place in 2015. June 13, 2025, marks the 11th year of this globally recognized awareness event.
