🧡 *World Leprosy Day | 25 January 2026*

Leprosy is curable — but for millions, the real challenge is stigma.

✨This World Leprosy Day, we stand with people affected by leprosy to raise awareness, celebrate resilience, and call for an end to discrimination.

💊 *The facts:*

Leprosy is cured with simple, free antibiotics. When treated early, people recover fully and transmission stops.

💔 *The reality:*

Stigma causes people to lose jobs, leave their homes, be excluded from families, and keeps children out of school. Many hide their symptoms out of fear — delaying treatment and causing avoidable complications.

🗣️ As one person affected said: “This happens not because people are mean, but because they don’t understand.”

👉 *What you can do:*

✅ Learn and share the facts
✅ Challenge myths and misinformation
✅ Support dignity, inclusion and early treatment
