Malawian mothers' experiences of raising children living with albinism: A qualitative descriptive study.

Background: Albinism in humans is characterised by a reduced amount of pigment (melanin) present in the skin, hair follicles and the eye; approximately 7000-10 000 Malawians of all ages are affected. Children with these features face extreme forms of human rights abuses, even death.

Objectives: This study aims to describe Malawian mothers' experiences, perceptions and understanding of raising children with albinism (CWA).
