World Leprosy Day is observed on the last Sunday of January (January 26 this year). And the theme this time is ‘Beat leprosy, end stigma, and advocate for mental well-being’.
The theme encapsulates the dual objectives of the event — to eradicate the stigma associated with leprosy and to promote the dignity of people affected by the disease. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the need to address the social and psychological aspects of leprosy, alongside the medical efforts to eliminate the disease. It calls for a world where leprosy is no longer a source of stigma but rather an opportunity to demonstrate compassion and respect for all individuals.
