In many parts of East Africa, people with albinism are targeted for their body parts, which some believe hold magical powers and bring good fortune. Over the last decade, Under the Same Sun, a Canadian group working with people with albinism, estimates that over 200 people with albinism, many of them children, have been killed in Africa or had their body parts amputated. They say at least 75 people with albinism have been killed in Tanzania since 2006. Faced with increased international scrutiny, Tanzania began to mobilize resources to fight off traffickers and protect people with albinism.
