Anna Tylor is the chair of trustees for the Royal National Institute of Blind people (RNIB), she's a fierce champion for equity in healthcare and an extraordinary advocate for accessibility. She's an organisational and business expert, a trained mediator and author, blogger and fellow podcaster. Born with Albinism, Anna was born partially sighted and experienced sight loss, at which point she was registered as certified severely sight impaired. This classification is also described as blind, though Anna would say she does have some 'useful sight'.She self-educated while raising a child, later working with major organisations to drive inclusivity, from the police force to banking, and even revolutionising access to audiobooks and digital libraries.More recently, Anna was diagnosed with breast cancer, she is now, two and a half years in remission. Her diagnosis exposed shocking gaps in healthcare accessibility for blind and partially sighted people, from vital information being inaccessible through to serious risks to patient safety. Her experience has made her a passionate voice for women advocating for themselves in healthcare and pushing for a more equitable system.Anna is knowledgeable and is a power-house for positivity and change, we loved spilling the tea with her We discuss Google and Apple calendars wiping off not just the history of women but of men as well, we share your comments, there's a new strutting WI (weekly invitation) and a little bit of inspiration to send you off with for the week.It's an episode brimming with chat and all the usual sweary shenanigans!

In this episode, Professor Victoria Canning from Lancaster University discusses the overlooked intersection of criminology and witchcraft persecution. Through the lens of "zemiology"—the study of social harm—Canning examines how witchcraft accusations create profound physical, psychological, and cultural damage.Central to our conversation is her concept of "torturous violence," which expands definitions of torture beyond state actions to include sustained community violence with similar traumatic effects. This framework helps explain how witchcraft accusations function as mechanisms of social control, particularly against women.Canning advocates for an "activist criminology" that uses evidence to drive social change and helps practitioners identify and respond to witchcraft-related persecution.Join us for this informative conversation bridging criminology and witchcraft studies to address these overlooked forms of violence.Research and Publications by Victoria CanningWomen for Refugee WomenInternational Conference on Albinism at Lancaster University, September 2025Donate to Witch Hunt Podcast Conference FundMaryland House Joint Resolution 2MD Witch Exoneration Project WebsiteSign the Maryland PetitionSign the Massachusetts Petition

On Human Rights Day, December 10th, marking 76 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we explore one of humanity's ongoing challenges: how differences continue to be met with fear, persecution, and violence. We welcome special guest Muluka-Anne Miti-Drummond, United Nations Independent Expert on the Enjoyment of Human Rights by Persons with Albinism, for a critical discussion that epitomizes Human Rights Day 2024. Her vital work documents how harmful practices and ritual attacks continue to threaten the lives of persons with albinism in Africa and globally, challenging the fundamental principles the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was created to protect. Our conversation examines how beliefs that lead to harm continue to target persons with albinism, particularly women and children. Through the framework of United Nations Resolution 47/8 on accusations of witchcraft and ritual attacks, we explore how countries worldwide are developing protective measures while respecting cultural contexts. As we mark International Human Rights Day and its vision of dignity for all people regardless of race, color, religion, abilities, or status, this discussion provides both a sobering look at ongoing human rights challenges and hope through education, awareness, and community engagement. Join this crucial exploration of human rights protection, where harmful practices meet National Action Plans, and learn how global communities are working together to ensure safety and dignity for persons with albinism. #HumanRightsDay #PersonsWithAlbinism #UnitedNations #HumanRights #AlbinismRights Resources: United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution 47/8 Study on the situation of the violations and abuses of human rights rooted in harmful practices related to accusations of witchcraft and ritual attacks, as well as stigmatization Papua New Guinea Sorcery and Witchcraft Accusation-Related Violence National Action Plan Pan African Parliament Guidelines for Addressing Accusations of Witchcraft and Ritual Attacks IK Ero On Next Steps For Ending Witch Hunts TINAAWAHP Sierra Leone Association of Persons with Albinism Sierra Leone Association of Persons with Albinism Facebook Page Pro Victimis Medical Assistance Sierra Leone End Witch Hunts Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project Massachusetts Witch-Hunt Justice Project Salem Witch-Hunt Education Project --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witchhunt/support

Albinism is an inherited condition that affects the production of melanin. People born with the condition have fair skin, hair and eyes. Superstitions about the body parts of people with albinism have led to violent attacks. In 2008 Tanzania appeared to be the epicentre of these superstitions and attacks. Anyone living with albinism there lived in fear. The BBC's former Tanzania correspondent Vicky Ntetema's reporting on the brutality of the attacks - maiming and beheadings - brought global attention to what was happening there.Over the past 16 years, attacks in Tanzania have reduced significantly but the recent increase in violence against people with albinism in Madagascar suggest the problem has not gone away. In today's episode Africa, Daily's Alan Kasujja speaks to journalist Raissa Ioussef in the capital Antananarivo and to Ikwonponsa Ero, the Managing Director of the African Albinism Network.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Ikpanwosa Ero live from Canada. Born in Nigeria, is classified as a black female with the condition of albinism. This genetic mutation results in melanin deficiency and phenotypical characteristics often associated with people classified as White - pale skin and hair. Ero is an attorney by training and the first United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. Gus was literally front row to hear her speak earlier this year at the University of Washington. She detailed the importance of words and even shared an anecdote about her being accused of wielding “white privilege” because of her melanin deficiency. International Albinism Awareness Day was just last month, so we'll ask how she advocated on that day. We'll also inquire about her definition of Racism and if she's noted White people's fascination with albino tigers, albino porcupines, albino skunks and all the mutant critters of the world.

There are legends among the Cherokee and other Native American tribes of a people that existed in North America well before the arrival of Columbus  that had very light skin and large "moon eyes".  Theories have abounded about who or what these Moon Eyed people were, from Albinos, to decedents of pre-Columbian  Welsh explorers, to Aliens (of course).  Take a listen and see what you think is behind the stories of the Moon Eyed People

Toni & I discuss her experience with Albinism, her work as a therapist - & we're joined by a special guest

Deep in the heart of Appalachia, there's a legend of a pale race of cave-dwelling people, who only come out at night, and who may or may not have been driven to extinction. This week, Hannah tells Katy about the Moon-Eyed People of Appalachia (thank you Amanda, for the suggestion!). The girls talk problematic white history, blind Pelicans, gay whales, genetics, Welsh pronunciations, and whether or not the Moon-Eyed People actually existed (and whether they still exist today!) It's a great follow up to the Giant Skeletons episode (ep. 199) and the whacky history white settlers tried to impose to justify colonization; plus a few fun facts about Indigenous Americans and their very long, rich history. Pour those drinks, grab a snack, gather your kids (it's a kid-friendly one), and join us for this tale of Local Lore!

We've all heard the phrase “albinism is beautiful,” and over the last decade, albino models, influencers, and advocates have taken the world by storm. But albinism representation—especially in the fashion and beauty industry—is far from perfect. In the thirtieth episode of Legally Blonde & Blind, I discuss society's evolving attitudes towards beauty and how we can more meaningfully include, uplift, and celebrate those with albinism. Tune in to learn how for me, albinism is far more than pretty white hair..it's a community, source of pride, and part of who I am. Connect with Legally Blonde & Blind!

Ikponwosa Ero visits the University of Washington to discuss: “Human Rights in Practice: An overview of the journey to protect people with albinism in Africa and globally” Ero was born in Nigeria and migrated to Canada in her teens. She's classified as a non-white female with albinism - a genetic defect which manifests as a person lacking melanin, skin pigmentation. "Ms. Ero is a lawyer by training and the first United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. Her experiences and impact span across multiple continents over more than a decade of policy research and advocacy, having worked with several government agencies and organizations to further the rights of persons with albinism, and being a leader in more than twenty international human rights resolutions at both the United Nations and the African Union." Dr. Frances Cress Welsing often discuss the significance of albinism in relation to her theory of White Genetic Annihilation. She theorized that individuals classified as White are also melanin deficient, and their lack of pigmentation partly motivates their mistreatment of dark skinned people - especially those classified as black. Gus and C.O.W.S. listeners were able to ask a number of questions. Ms. Ero explained the "intrigue" or thrill associated with publicizing how dark skinned Africans abuse and sometimes butcher African people with albinism. We also discussed an alleged "white privilege" that she receives as a result of looking phenotypically similar to people classified as White. Ms. Ero acknowledged their may be some true to this statement. There was a substantial informal discussion following the main event, and Gus was able to ask even more questions. During this time, Ms. Ero explained that when she moved to Canada in her teens, an "Indian" person called her a "White nigger." For Gus, this further solidified that she could not be accepted as White, and reminds us that #BlackGetBack Even for the pale black people with albinism. #AlbinismAffairs #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
