[AMSA-UNHAS POD.17] Embrace Leprosy, Fend Off the Negative Stigma
Description
The social and economic upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic has been particularly hard on persons affected by leprosy and their families, many of whom were in a vulnerable position to begin with. Pandemic have made it harder for them to access treatment and care, deprived them of income-generating opportunities, and exacerbated the deprivations their marginalized communities already faced.This discrimination has existed throughout the world from Old Testament times up until the present day, regardless of race or country. For many persons affected by leprosy, the discrimination doesn’t end once they are cured.It is also important that they are active on social media and speak out against discrimination.Let us use our reason to confront the stigma that persons affected by leprosy face, cure society of the disease of discrimination and stop repeating the mistakes of the past. People who experience leprosy face mental wellbeing challenges and diginified life free due to stigma, discrimination, and isolation. World Leprosy Day takes place on the last Sunday of January each year.
Let’s hear an insightful stories behind leprosy!
