of beds and a very limited improvement with regard to nutritional food. However, the delegation notes that these changes hardly address the needs of the children as their numbers have been increasing dramatically. From January to September 2015, the Committee was informed that the number of children with albinism exhibits a significant increase in number as there have been 76 intakes in only 9 months.

Regular and structural attacks, often with a view to trade in their body parts, are so rampant that children with albinism are not free to live out their daily lives in their areas of origin. The delegation notes the existence of various forms of attacks against children with albinism, including the appalling situation of two girls whose hands were chopped off by their fathers. Various organisations and individuals have also brought to the Committee’s attention that the widespread practice of ritual attacks; i.e., the killing of and attacks on children with albinism with a view to using their body parts for ritual purposes. The Committee was informed that, according to the Government records, 7
