Manyashi Emmanuel

victim

Manyashi Emmanuel is a 25-year-old man whose life has been profoundly affected by the tragic murder of his five-year-old sister, Mariamu Emmanuel, in 2008. He witnessed the brutal attack that took her life, which has left him with lasting trauma and fear, especially during election periods when violence against people with albinism tends to increase. Manyashi's experiences reflect the deep-seated issues surrounding albinism in Tanzania, where superstition and discrimination have led to violence against those with the condition.
