International Albinism Awareness Day is observed globally on June 13th each year. This day is dedicated to increasing awareness about albinism, a genetic condition characterized by the absence of melanin pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. The day underscores the importance of understanding and supporting individuals with albinism, promoting their inclusion in society, and advocating for their healthcare needs, including sun protection to prevent skin cancer.
