Abstract

The hunt for albinos for the purpose of receiving part of their bodies, allegedly miraculous drugs, is one of the realities of contemporary African countries which are to the South of the Sahara.Connection with demonic forces and negative impact on others are attributed to albinos. So people whose skin is deprived of natural dark pigmentation, since childhood, doomed to be outcasts of society and fight for survival. The measures taken by national governments and humanitarian organizations are insufficient to resolve socio-cultural problems.
