2.0 INTRODUCTION
The Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended;
the African Charter on Human
and Peoples Rights (ACHPR); UN Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities
(UNCRPD); The International Human Rights Law (IHRL), and the
United Nations Human Right
Council (UNHRC) has provisions for the enjoyment of Fundamental
Human Rights for her
citizens with no exceptions irrespective of the circumstance of
birth, skin colour, race, gender or
ethnicity.
Over the years, the rights of persons with albinism in Nigeria
have been violated. Children with
albinism could not have access to education because of bullying
from peers and teachers;
persons with albinism who passed employment tests could not be
employed because of his/her
colour, persons with albinism within their communities could not
participate actively because of
discrimination from community members; persons with albinism
could not have access to health
facilities because of discriminatory attitude of health care
providers; women with albinism are
frequently impregnated and abandoned after promises of marriage
by would-be-husbands;
mothers who gave birth to children with albinism are chased out
of their marriages; persons with
albinism are always hunted for ritual purposes while suicide
among persons with albinism are on
the increase as a result of accumulated discriminatory attitude
and human rights abuses and
violations by the society.
On this premise, the foundation seeks to sensitize and engage
persons with albinism (PWA) on
their various Fundamental human rights and consequently mitigate
the level of violation and
discrimination against them.
However, to achieve this goal, the workshop was used as a medium
to build the capacity of
persons with albinism leaders within the North-Central Region of
the country on Human Rights
issues as well as create their understanding on the role and
importance of Judicial inclusiveness
in redressing reported cases of violation or infringement. In
all, the workshop served as a guide
-
5
and an awareness avenue to the participants on human rights
identification, Advocacy and
approach to accrued rights reclamation under the ambiance of the
law.

Ikpebe.
The second presentation was by Barry. Manny Ikpebe. In his
presentation, he emphatically
stated that, the first point of call for a PWA is to know his or
her rights. He insisted, that the law
places all at equal pedestal and there are no special
privileges, unless when such engagement
-
14
endangers the being of the PWA, only then can such privileges be
invoked. Secondly, he opined
that it is absolutely necessary for a PWA to identify the
appropriate authorities to report to, when
their rights are being violated or infringed. Examples of
authorities includes: TAF, the Pro-Bono
Lawyers, Police, National Human rights Commission, Public
Complaints Commission and Civil
Society Groups. Finally, having identified these authorities,
the last step is to formally report such
violation promptly, using the proper channels.
Complaints, Question and answers

in Court of law considering

unit of the foundation who are bound by duty to take up such
cases pro-bono

provision in Nigerian laws especially
for PWA students during examination. The head of media and

voice by reassuring PWA that such provisions are already in
place sighing the Nigerian
National inclusive education policy also championed by TAF. He
insisted that it only requires
the PWA to identify himself as on during the examination and
such privilege will be granted
and asked whoever was denied such right to report to the
appropriate authority
3) Abel from Plateau state asked “To what extent has the
Judiciary been able to interpret these
laws as provided for in the constitution in respect to PWA
Rights Violation? Barr Rex Erameh
Esq. responded by saying that the Justice system is doing all
that it takes to ensure that
Justice is done; i.e the earlier report in day during the
Launch.
4) Faith Osonwa from FCT called on the Foundation (TAF) to help
them find a place in the
society especially when it pertains to work. Mr Damian Ivom and
Barr Rex Erameh Esq.
respectively pointed out the foundation has been doing. So,
through its empowerment
programmed. They also advised that PWA should engage themselves
in meaningful
handiworks or trade pending the time that the white-collar jobs
comes their way; so as to
become responsible members of the society.
5) Mr Hussein painted a picture using the CBT organized by UTME.
He asked, how can a PWA
ask for an extra time during such test having it in mind that
the test is pre-programmed to end
within a stipulated time for everyone? Barr Manny in is
answering faulted the organizing

8.0 RECOMMENDATION
Having been enlightened through the series of the presentations
in the workshop on how to
ensure the promotion, protection and defense of the rights of
persons with albinism by the
resource persons, the following submissions were made:

All PWA should:
➢ Identify and know their rights only then, would they be able
to defend it.
➢ Stand up in Advocacy for their identified rights, as provided
for within the laws/constitution.
➢ Live beyond low self-esteem because the fundamental human
rights incorporate all,
including the PWA.
➢ Report to appropriate authorities promptly and seek redress
when their rights are being
violated or denied.
➢ Embark on Human Right Advocacy programme, hence sensitize the
public on PWA
related issues.
8.2 To the Public, Government & Judiciary
➢ The society is for all (PWA inclusive) lets learn to accept,
respect and relate with them
without discrimination.
➢ Policy should be made to incorporate the PWA always not
sometimes (with special
reference to CBT examination).
➢ Give the PWA equal opportunity as well as other citizens,
where necessary make
provisions for special privilege as recommended.
➢ The Judiciary should support PWA more by accepting their cases
as pro-bono and treat
it with utmost importance like every other.
