In the charity's own words
Standing Voice's objective is to end human rights violations against marginalised groups through its Education, Health, Advocacy and Community Programmes. We currently focus on promoting the social inclusion of people with albinism in Africa, who commonly face extreme social exclusion leading to marginalisation from health and education services, social support, and witchcraft-fuelled murder.
