Preliminary survey on the root causes of attacks and discrimination against persons with albinism 2016, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, and given the high number of relatives of persons with albinism involved in such crimes, it could be argued that, in a context where a family member with albinism is often perceived as both a social and economic burden, relatives could be tempted to connive in such attacks, thinking erroneously that in doing so they could earn some income, while alleviating the "curse" or economic burden brought by their family member with albinism.
