In Africa, persons with albinism, as a public health condition, are particularly susceptible to accusations of witchcraft and hazardous activities. Attacks on the group have been sparked by the stereotypes and superstitions that surround them. The goal of the study is to assess whether governments have adequately addressed the human rights violations against persons with albinism through National Action Plans. This includes how the National Action Plans’ design and the exercise of the rights and liberties outlined in them were influenced by international and domestic legal frameworks. The study also draws attention to the debate over albinism’s status as a disability and how it affects how governments react to the violation as a disability. The current normative framework or formal system for conceptualising responses to and monitoring human rights violations against persons with albinism is constituted by National Action Plans. The National Action Plans are at the center of the progressive and innovative agenda to stop harmful practices and accusations of witchcraft against peesons with albinism. As a result, the research shows that implementing National Action Plans can be difficult due to environmental and attitude constraints. The fundamental point made is that the National Action Plans should take a human rights-based approach, paying special attention to guaranteeing full involvement of persons with albinism at all stages of the plans. To determine whether persons with albinism are given the same protection of their human rights on equal basis like others, it is important to make sure that persons with albinism are included in a human rights discourse in the National Action Plans.
