the total number of attacks and killings of persons reported at the police stations in Tanzania stands 62. Specifically, the number of incidents where children with albinism were victims since 2006 is reportedly 37. Out of the 37 incidents 17 were against boys while 21 were against girls. Looking at the numbers from the Government records, the delegation notes that since 2006, 6 children with albinism were wounded, 24 were killed, 4 were victims of attempted murder and 3 were kidnapped. However, organizations working on children’s rights in Tanzania indicated that the number of on-going attacks is higher than those reported, but that datagathering is difficult due to the secretive nature of witchcraft that serves as the context of most ritual attacks against children with albinism. For instance Under the Same Sun reports that up until August 2012, there have been 71 documented killings of persons with albinism, and that over half of these victims were children.

The delegation also learns that children with albinism, as witnessed at the Buhangija Center, are suffering from various forms of health- related challenges. For instance, many cannot afford simple remedies, such as sunscreen, that would protect them from the elevated risk of developing skin cancer. A medical screening camp in Mwanza carried out by the Tanzania Albinism Society found out that 80% of the children had sun burns and signs of pre-cancer. The delegation also witnessed that most of the children with albinism in Buhangija Center have visual impairments, fungus, severe wounds on their skin and suffer from complicated health problems accompanied by high fever. It was also indicated that malaria is a major challenge. Though the care-givers and teachers in the Centre are trained to provide 8
