A participatory systematic review on human rights and the birth of a child with albinism in sub-Saharan Africa.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The period surrounding birth is a crucial and determining time for many women, particularly for those who give birth to a child with albinism (CWA) due to the stigma, discrimination, and threat to safety they immediately encounter, altering their life trajectory.

Objectives

To synthesize existing evidence on the human rights surrounding the birth of a baby with albinism in sub-Saharan Africa.

Design

We conducted an integrative review through a critical participatory approach. Our review question was; What are the experiences surrounding the birth of a CWA for the mother and father and their carers in sub-Saharan Africa?
