Albinism in Tanzania is an expression of the genetic condition of albinism among citizens of the United Republic of Tanzania, characterized by a lack of melanin in the skin, hair and eyes. The country has one of the highest reported incidences of oculocutaneous albinism (OCA2) in the world, estimated at 1 in 1,400 births, compared to roughly 1 in 20,000 in the United States. People with albinism in Tanzania face severe social stigma, discrimination, and life-threatening attacks driven by superstition and a lucrative trade in body parts for witchcraft. Over the past two decades, dozens have been mutilated or murdered, prompting government crackdowns on witchdoctors and growing advocacy by survivors and NGOs.
