According to Harare  News Our City, Our Lives, 
Albinos or people with albinism experience discrimination from birth. Many come from single-parent families as fathers often divorce or leave the mother of an albino child. Mothers of albino children often find it difficult to be fully integrated into their communities because of the negative myths and superstitions which surrounded albinos.


Sadly, albino children also suffer discrimination from their peers at school. Many albinos have a number of eye-related problems, including impaired vision (even with glasses), photosensitivity (sensitivity to light), nystagmus (an involuntary back and forth movement of the eyes) and strabismus (crossed or ‘lazy’ eyes). Unfortunately, teachers often discriminate and place albino children at the back of the class where they can’t see the board.

 As a result, albinos are often considered slow or to have learning difficulties when this is not the case. Brian Sithole who has albinism told Harare News, “My mother had to ask the teacher to seat me at the front of the class because I couldn’t see well. After that, my school work improved dramatically.”

" What makes a woman with albinism feel beautiful dispelling beauty myth YouTube , people kept asking me that did I change my hair color , who is my hair dresser , albinism is pigment of the body ,eye and skin color .

Grew up in Hong Kong , small minority , look different , my parent  said the same thing that I am different and made my siblings  aware that am an albino .

One day my sis came from school , we saw someone a sister who look like you , independent she is not hiding , living life .

I would never forget an incident when someone stared at me , shocked for two minute and just walk away and a guy looked at me and said I like your style , can we hang out for a cup of coffee? have got questions from people saying am I a Japanese ? Irish ? English ? .

All I did was to smile and embrace the fact that Albinism is Beautiful and am glad to be one .
