Malawi Albinism

In this photo taken Sunday, Feb, 9, 2020, Catherine Amidu hangs out washing to dry outside her home in Machinga, Malawi. People with albinism in several African countries live in fear of being abducted and killed in the mistaken belief that their body parts carry special powers and can be sold for thousands of dollars. 17-year-old Amidu survived an attempt on her life in 2017.
