The Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy, a multi-stakeholder global coalition, is recruiting an Executive Director to lead and support the partners towards achievement of GPZL’s purposes. Information on this exciting role and how to apply is at zeroleprosy.org.
Leprosy is both an ancient and modern disease. Today we have the tools to stop leprosy transmission, but we need political commitment to do so. It’s time to #ActNow and invest to #BeatLeprosy. #WorldLeprosyDay
Boishaki's father worries that if people know she has leprosy she may not be able to go to school, because of the stigma around leprosy in their community. Read their story: bit.ly/3Hz6cKN #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #ActNow #EndStigma
Dhanmati's story is a testament to the importance of early diagnosis, proper medication, and the love and support of family in overcoming any medical condition, including leprosy. Read Dhanmati’s story: bit.ly/3RX4EPq #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #ActNow
Leprosy is the oldest disease known to man, but it is often deeply misunderstood. #ActNow to bust the myths and create a world free from leprosy stigma and discrimination. bit.ly/3NXMw6T #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy
Ending leprosy - a 4,000 year old disease - is achievable, but it will require reaching out to the at-risk population in hard-to-reach areas and reducing the gap in access to essential services. #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #ActNow #ZeroDiscrimination
Countries are increasingly implementing SDR-PEP, an antibiotic that can reduce the risk of leprosy. 99% of close contacts of leprosy patients accept SDR-PEP as a way to stop transmission. #LeprosyStillExists #ActNow #EndLeprosy #WorldLeprosyDay
“When I was diagnosed I was depressed and distraught. I was ready to end my life. But the doctors told me I’d be OK and gave me hope, and that’s why I’m alive.” Read Nsimbu’s story: bit.ly/3RUesK3 #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #ActNow #EndStigma #ZeroDiscrimination
‘People were very cruel and treated me with such hostility, but I was determined that one day people would understand that I am a woman of value.’ Read Patili Maya’s story. bit.ly/3TW7EhI #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #EndStigma #ZeroDiscrimination
Boishaki likes drawing and Bengali at school, as well as kabaddi and football. She says she might want to be an artist. But she and her father are very anxious about the future and the impact of leprosy on their family. Read their story: bit.ly/3Hz6cKN #WorldLeprosyDay
‘We run these prevention of disability camps, along with the government, so that we can sensitize the duty-bearers on the need for aids and appliances and customized footwear’. - Maninvanan, senior occupational therapist and programme manager. bit.ly/47udVUL #EndLeprosy
“My wife likes money, and when I was earning we had a good relationship. But when I got sick, and got ulcers, I couldn’t work. There was no household conflict. She just left and went away. Apparently, she has remarried.” Read Joseph’s story: bit.ly/3tMVqx8 #BeatLeprosy
Leprosy is preventable and treatable. Suffering from leprosy is needless. Join the fight to end leprosy. Together, we can make a difference. Advocate for change and help us eliminate leprosy. #WorldLeprosyDay #LeprosyIsCurable #BeatLeprosy
‘Fear about leprosy won’t haunt us if we are aware of its signs’. - Leprosy health education poster in South India. #LeprosyStillExists #ActNow #EndStigma #ZeroDiscrimination #WorldLeprosyDay
Persons affected by leprosy (Hansen’s disease) must have access to the highest attainable standard of support and care: UN experts shar.es/aggwur
We must continue training health care workers to detect leprosy cases early. That way, we can end community transmission and prevent disability. bit.ly/47udVUL #WorldLeprosyDay #EndLeprosy #ActNow
‘I wish to see that mental health gets equal focus as the disease itself, and also creation of awareness among individuals affected by leprosy and communities’. - Jasim Ahmed bit.ly/3RLZuWk #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #ActNow #EndStigma
‘I have two children. When my husband abandoned me, it was difficult. Then I heard that TLM is offering livelihood opportunities … (Now) we have work every month. We have a good name in the society. That is enough.’ - Sasikala bit.ly/48tuG3M #BeatLeprosy #ActNow
‘People were very cruel and treated me with such hostility, but I was determined that one day people would understand that I am a woman of value.’ Read Patili Maya’s story. bit.ly/3TW7EhI #WorldLeprosyDay #BeatLeprosy #EndStigma #ZeroDiscrimination

Huge Congratulations! Madam Mrs. Maya Ranavare President of the Association of People Affected by Leprosy (APAL India) to get the DURGA RATNA AWARD
On #WorldLeprosyDay, WHO asks countries to urgently address gaps in leprosy services and accelerate efforts towards zero leprosy infection and disease, zero leprosy disability, and zero leprosy stigma and discrimination – the vision of the WHO Global Leprosy Strategy 2021–2030.
Today at the #GlobalAppeal2023 event in Rome, our Leadership Team member and the president of Felehansen, Lucrecia Acevedo, shared her experience of raising awareness of leprosy among school children. A future free from stigma and discrimination is possible.
“What most people affected by #leprosy want is to be called by their name, not to be marked by their condition." @mathiasduck, global advocacy manager at @Leprosymissint, calls for an end to the use of derogatory language: bit.ly/3ARJbxP
We have long campaigned for the word 'leper' to be banished from polite company. It is derogatory and offends millions of people across the world. @mathiasduck explains it wonderfully in this @guardian article👇🙌 bit.ly/3k6gzuU
On #WorldNTDDay we want the world to know: 👉 NTDs are preventable diseases 👉 Leprosy is one of these preventable diseases 👉 It's time to #EndTheNeglect #beatNTDs
January 31 is #WorldLeprosyDay - Alice Cruz, UN Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by #leprosy and their family members, made a statement to remember the lessons from the history of leprosy. Link: ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/… #WLD2021
Love the presentation at #NNN2020 on innovation featuring #AliceAugustaBall a Black American chemist who overcame every systemic prejudice & discrimination to innovate & develop #leprosy treatment Key takeaways for innovators: - think big - be relentless - don't give up #beatNTDs
We're excited to present at #NNN2020 along with other orgs in the @USAID @ActNTDsWest program, incl @fhi360 @HelenKellerIntl @WorldVision @Deloitte. We have sessions on everything from #NTDs programming to economic impact models to #innovation. #beatNTDs actntdswest.org/events/2020-nn…
Tools exist to assess the need of people related to #disabilities, #stigma & #mentalhealth available at stigmaguides.org. Also, these guides explore how to monitor & evaluate the impact of interventions on stigma & mental health of #NTD affected persons #beatNTDs #NNN2020
From the letter to Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio: "As persons who have experienced Hansen’s disease, or leprosy, we were disheartened to read reports today that quote you as calling on other nations to not "treat Italy as a leper colony due to coronavirus". (1/2)
"While it might be good at grabbing headlines, the use of ‘leprosy’ as a negative metaphor has consequences beyond the political realm, it perpetuates old and outdated stereotypes and reinforces stigma and discrimination against us, individuals affected by #leprosy." (2/2)
When political leaders use #leprosy as a negative metaphor, they perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce stigma. Negative social attitudes towards persons affected by leprosy create a barrier to treatment and hamper efforts to stop the disease globally. reut.rs/3gAKKpV
To #BeatNTD and reach the finishing line, we need enhanced political commitment and increase in ownership of govts of NTD endemic countries @ILEPAntiLeprosy @gatesfoundation @DianeGashumba @ntds @ZeroLeprosy @DPI_Info
2020 is a pivotal year in the fight to #BeatNTDs. In this op-ed, HE @DianeGashumba & Dr. Katey Owen @gatesfoundation argue that “the solutions that got us this far will not be enough to take us over the finish line.” @allafrica bit.ly/2UF04t7
@wynbaptiste presenting on #mtvshuga @ISNTD_Press, saying that authenticity is key! How about #leprosy (a taboo for many) as topic for @MTVIndia. India has the highest leprosy burden worldwide! @mtvshugai #MTVNishedh @mtvstayingalive @ILEPAntiLeprosy @NLR_NoLeprosy @gpz @Infolep
