World Leprosy Day 2026: “Leprosy is curable, the real challenge is stigma.” 🌍

We’re sharing powerful, lived-experience videos led by those affected, filled with hope and humour to challenge misconceptions. Watch, share, and help us end discrimination!

#WorldLeprosyDay #EndTheStigma
For #WorldLeprosyDay we are handing over our social media to persons affected by #leprosy. ✨
We asked them the kind of questions you’d ask a friend, not a “patient.” The answers? Honest, funny, and beautifully human.
