To commemorate International Albinism Awareness Day, Sunday, June 13, the Ghana Association of Persons with Albinism (GAPA) has called on government to pursue policies that would make the lives of albinos easier in the country.
Celebrating this year’s awareness day with the theme: “Strength beyond all odds,” the Executive Director of GAPA, Newton Kwamla Katseku bemoaned the lack of appropriate medical treatment, favorable conditions in schools among others.
“There are no clear cut policies and programmes seeking to ensure that persons with albinism have access to adequate health care, employment, education, justice and social protection in Ghana.
“This year’s theme “Strength beyond all odds” is seeking to reflect on the resilience, perseverance and achievements of persons with albinism in the face of the pervasive misconceptions, discrimination and violence,” he stated.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, a good, happy and peaceful Easter!
Today, throughout the world, the Church’s proclamation resounds: “Jesus, who was crucified, has risen as he said. Alleluia!”
The Easter message does not offer us a mirage or reveal a magic formula. It does not point to an escape from the difficult situation we are experiencing. The pandemic is still spreading, while the social and economic crisis remains severe, especially for the poor. Nonetheless – and this is scandalous – armed conflicts have not ended and military arsenals are being strengthened. That is today’s scandal.
