Reggie Yates for Amnesty International


13 12 2016

Human rights organisation Amnesty International has unveiled its latest partnership with broadcaster Reggie Yates, who has taken a collection of photographs of people living with albinism as part of Amnesty’s campaign to raise awareness about the struggles of those living with the condition in Malawi.

Between December 2014 and April this year, at least 18 people with albinism were killed in the African country, and Yates commented 'The dangers and threats levelled at people living with albinism in Malawi are hardly ever discussed here in the UK. But the reality for so many of them is terrifying. It was great to have met such amazing people from all walks of life, and to take their photographs which I hope will play a role in supporting and encouraging Annie Alfred and all the thousands living in Malawi with albinism'. The exhibition of images will be on display at Huck Art Gallery in London on December 16 and 17.
