Each year, June 13 marks International Albinism Awareness Day (IAAD). IAAD aims to raise awareness about people who live with Albinism and also counter the continued stigma and mis-conceptions people with Albinism continue to face. At Vision Australia, we’re marking IAAD by highlighting three separate stories, illustrate how life has changed in Australia for people with albinism over the last five to six decades.
