Motladiile-Kenneth, a human rights defender and advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities, explained that the pageant is a call for action to address the misconceptions and myths surrounding albinism. "Stigma and discrimination, always the last in the enjoyment of human rights, misconceptions and myths about albinism," she said, highlighting the need for awareness and understanding.
