Zimbabwe recently held its first ever Miss Albinism beauty pageant to celebrate people with albinism - a congenital disorder affecting up to one in 15,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa. People with albinism are frequently shunned, attacked and even killed across Africa. The pageant aimed to fight stigma and create awareness about the condition. Sithembiso Mutukura, a 22-year-old student who won the contest, says she wants to use her title to fight stigma and discrimination.
