Preliminary survey on the root causes of attacks and discrimination against persons with albinism 2016, para. 29
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
In addition, the myths fuel the discrimination and abuse to which persons with albinism are subject at school, and this increases bullying, taunting and harassment, which in turn increases their dropout rates. High dropout rates throw them into a cycle of poverty that is hard to break. Poverty in turn predisposes them to abuse and exposes them to attack.
