140. Furthermore, the Court recognizes the Report of the United Nations Independent Expert on the Enjoyment of Rights of Persons with Albinism, that she was informed by PWA in the Respondent State that a number of attacks were not reported because of “the growing sense of national shame around the attacks and a corresponding unwillingness to report the crimes in the media.”41 141. The Court observes that, PWA also face discrimination because of their skin colour owing to the lack of the melanin, especially in countries like the Respondent State, where PWA stand-out from the majority of the population who have brown skin colour.42 142. The Court further notes that, as it is reported by United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of rights of persons with albinism, “the degree of contrast in pigmentation between the majority and the person with albinism in a community tends to correlate positively with the severity and intensity of discrimination faced by persons with albinism.” The stigmatization of PWA manifests in “name-calling, being laughed at, avoidance and exclusion”.43 143. In this regard, during the public hearing, one of the amici, Ms. Ikponwosa Ero, a person with albinism and the former United Nations Independent Expert on the Enjoyment of the Human Rights of Persons with Albinism submitted that the PWA in Tanzania have been referred to as “white goats”. This pejorative and denigratory reference to the colour of their skin is symbolic of the manifestation of discrimination. 144. The Court further stresses that the discrimination in relation to women is exacerbated by a gender-based lens. In this regard as reported in the Outcome Report of the Expert Meeting on ‘Persons with Albinism: Violence, 41 Human Rights Council, Thirty-Seventh session (26 February - 23 March 2018), Report of the Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism on her mission to the United Republic of Tanzania, 20 December 2017, A/HRC/37/57/Add.1, § 54. 42 Ibid, § 30. 43 Ibid. 35
