About this listen
The article highlights the challenges faced by women with albinism in Kenya due to increased ultraviolet (UV) radiation amid climate change. Despite government provision of protective lotions like sunscreen, access remains inconsistent, leaving many vulnerable to severe sunburns and skin cancer. High costs and ineffective distribution systems add to the struggles of women like Zipporah, who face physical and economic hardships. The piece also touches on systemic issues such as inadequate budget allocations and registration hurdles. Advocacy efforts aim to reinstate sunscreen as an essential medicine, urging greater recognition of the heightened risks faced by persons with albinism.
