World Leprosy Day 2026
World Leprosy Day 2026
Theme: Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) is curable. The real challenge is stigma.
At GPZL, people with lived experience of leprosy (Hansen’s disease) are at the centre of everything we do.
Hear directly from members of our Prioritising People Pillar Group as they share their lived experiences—the challenges they faced, the stigma they endured, and how they overcame discrimination linked to leprosy (Hansen’s disease).
Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) can be cured. Ending stigma requires listening to those most affected and amplifying their voices. Because meaningful change begins when people with lived experience lead the response.
