Despite increasing recognition of albinism as a disability under international human rights frameworks, PWAs remain marginalised across multiple domains.\nObjectives:\u00a0This study examines the historical and contemporary experiences of PWAs, tracing the trajectory from marginalisation to advocacy. It seeks to contextualise persistent discrimination, analyse the emergence of rights-based movements and identify effective strategies for inclusion and protection.\nMethod:\u00a0A qualitative, desktop-based review of secondary sources was conducted, drawing on academic literature, historical texts, human rights reports and case studies. A thematic analysis was applied to explore intersections between historical exclusion, cultural beliefs and contemporary advocacy efforts.\nResults:\u00a0Findings reveal that while albinism has long been associated with stigma and violence, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, recent decades have seen a rise in global and regional advocacy movements. These initiatives, often led by PWAs and civil society organisations, have reframed albinism as a disability and human rights issue, advancing policy reforms, awareness campaigns and protective interventions.\nConclusion:\u00a0The trajectory from marginalisation to advocacy underscores both the persistence of systemic barriers and the transformative potential of rights-based mobilisation. Effective responses require multisectoral collaboration, stronger legal protections, inclusive social policies and the amplification of the voices of PWAs.\nContribution:\u00a0This article integrates historical, biomedical and socio-legal perspectives to frame albinism as a disability and human rights issue, foregrounding advocacy, legal protection, and PWA voices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/ajod.v15i0.1874","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,22]],"date-time":"2026-06-22T07:02:33Z","timestamp":1782111753000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Albinism and human rights: From marginalisation to global advocacy"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8829-0011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tameshnie","family":"Deane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aborisade, R.A., 2022, \u2018Two people and one albino!
