Malawi: Stop the killing of people with albinism
 Take Action  Photo not of David Fletcher David Fletcher went missing in Malawi, and was later found dead—likely targeted because of his albinism. Urge Malawi to promptly investigate David’s murder and ensure next steps are taken to protect people with albinism. |
Dear friends,
On April 24th David Fletcher, a child with albinism in Malawi, was abducted and later killed.
People with albinism in Malawi live in fear of being abducted or killed, their body parts to be sold for use in religious rituals.
Tell the authorities in Malawi to urgently search for David’s killers and put measures in place to protect people with albinism.
He was walking to a soccer game in Malawi and that was the last his friends and family heard from him.
David’s story is not unique—thousands of people with albinism live in fear for their lives every day in Malawi.
With attacks against people with albinism increasing, families have withdrawn children from schools for fear of attacks, and some people with albinism have moved to urban areas for safety.
Demand the Malawi government uphold its responsibilities to protect people with albinism.
Take action today.
