It has been observed that, despite the efforts by various stakeholders to raise awareness on oculocutaneous albinism and research around the issue globally, regionally, and nationally, stigma and marginalization plague many communities in Botswana. The study explores the life experiences of people with albinism. It draws from the direct testimony of people with albinism. In addition, the study contributes to existing knowledge on a visible disability more than its physical and mental limitations. Thus, it promotes awareness of what appearance means cross-culturally and suggest ways in which the situation could be addressed and enhanced.
