ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR PERSONS WITH ALBINISM IN ZAMBIA
Our Programmes Coordinator Bruce Chooma makes a presentation on barriers in access to justice for persons with albinism in Zambia at the ongoing Regional Convening on Access to Justice for Persons with Disabilities in Africa. The meeting is convened by the Centre for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
He addressed the attitudinal, environmental and institutional barriers including the inadequacies in the law and low capacity and awareness among justice players on Albinism and human rights.
He explained how being in possession of human body parts is not criminally provided for as an offence punishable in the Zambian laws.
He spoke on the importance of Zambia's ongoing process to develop a National Action Plan for the legal protection of persons with albinism. The plan shall align to the Africa Union Plan of Action on Albinism. The session was co-facilitated with the UN independent Expert on the Enjoyment of Rights by Persons with Albinism Ms Muluka-Anne Miti-Drummond and the Executive Director of the Africa Albinism Network Bonface Massah who is also a Commissioner on the Malawi Human Rights Commission.
