Advocacy Programs
Advocacy Programs for the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Albinism.
Introduction
Persons with albinism (PWAs) are one of the most marginalized and discriminated groups in Tanzania.
They face a number of challenges, including stigma, discrimination, and violence. In Morogoro Region, PWAs are particularly vulnerable due to a number of factors, including poverty, lack of access to education and healthcare, and traditional beliefs that associate albinism with witchcraft.
Advocacy Programs
There are a number of advocacy programs that TAS Morogoro implement in Morogoro Region to promote the rights and dignity of PWAs.
These include:
Awareness raising:
Raising awareness of albinism and the challenges faced by PWAs is essential to changing attitudes and behaviors. Advocacy programs raises awareness through public education campaigns, school-based programs, and community outreach.
Legal protection:
PWAs have the same rights as all other Tanzanians, but these rights are often violated. Advocacy programs work to promote legal protection for PWAs by supporting the enforcement of existing laws and advocating for new laws and policies that protect their rights.
Economic empowerment:
PWAs often face economic discrimination, making it difficult for them to find jobs and support themselves.
Advocacy programs work to empower PWAs economically by providing them with entrepreneurship and vocational training, access to microcredit, and job placement assistance.
