I can think of nothing more egregious than the level of discrimination and brutality faced by people with albinism. There is now an alarming rise in skin cancer due to increased UV exposure from climate change that is claiming the lives of young people with albinism. Proud to be supporting this important #climatejustice campaign led by the Africa Albinism Network to make sunscreen available to people with albinisim.

The Africa Albinism Network (AAN) has launched a petition urging the World Health Organization to classify sunscreen as an essential medicine. This initiative aims to make sunscreen more affordable and accessible for people with albinism, who face heightened risks of skin cancer due to increased UV exposure from climate change. CBM Global proudly supports this campaign, recognising sunscreen as a life-saving necessity. Join us in advocating for this critical change to protect and improve the lives of people with albinism: https://lnkd.in/g84xmDcf #ClimateJustice #InclusiveClimateJustice
