International Albinism Awareness Day

 International Albinism Awareness Day

 International Albinism Awareness Day is celebrated annually on June 13 to celebrate the human rights of persons with albinism worldwide

a resolution came about when the Human Rights Council on June 13, 2013 adopted the first resolution ever on albinism.

Later on, in its resolution 26/10 of June 26, 2014 the Human Rights Council recommended June 13 to be proclaimed as International Albinism Awareness Day by the United Nations' General Assembly.

The UN's General Assembly, then, adopted on December 18, 2014 resolution 69/170 to proclaim, with effect from 2015, June 13 as International Albinism Awareness Day
