Abstract
A World of their Own: Qualitative study on Life Experiences of People with Albinism in Botswana
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.2 The protection of physical and psychological health and wellbeing of children, people with disabilities, and older people through fostering safe, sustainable, and inclusive living spaces
Oral Presentation
It has been observed that, despite the efforts of various stakeholders to raise awareness on oculocutaneous albinism globally, regionally, and nationally and despite various studies surrounding the issue, stigma and marginalisation plague in many communities, including Botswana. The study seeks to explore the life experiences of people with albinism. It seeks such understanding through the direct testimony of people with albinism. In addition, the study will contribute to existing knowledge focusing on a disability that is more visible on the surface than its physical and mental limitations. Thus, it may contribute to awareness of what appearance means cross culturally and suggest ways in which the situation may be addressed and enhanced.
