Although all human beings are vulnerable, some are more vulnerable than others, for example, people with albinism. Similarly, although albinism occurs in all parts of the world, it is more prevalent in some societies than in others. For example, Tanzania, in common with other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has a high prevalence of albinism. Apart from being subjected to blatant discrimination and abuse, people with albinism suffer atrocious attacks sometimes resulting in death. This paper explores the nature and extent of discrimination and human rights violations of people with albinism in Tanzania in the context of the relevant legal framework available for their protection. Using people with albinism in Tanzania as a proxy, the paper argues that there is a need for human rights education not only to empower vulnerable people to defend and protect their rights but also to sensitize societies to respect and not violate the rights of such people. The paper concludes with several recommendations that apply to people with albinism in Tanzania as much as they would apply to any vulnerable group anywhere else in the world.

人权教育和弱势群体的困境，特别是坦桑尼亚的白化病患者

尽管所有人都是脆弱的，但有些人比其他人更脆弱，例如白化病患者。同样，尽管白化病发生在世界各地，但在某些社会中比在其他社会中更为普遍。例如，坦桑尼亚与撒哈拉以南非洲其他国家一样，白化病发病率很高。除了遭受公然歧视和虐待外，白化病患者有时还会遭受残暴的袭击，甚至导致死亡。本文在可用于保护白化病患者的相关法律框架的背景下，探讨了坦桑尼亚白化病患者遭受歧视和侵犯人权的性质和程度。以坦桑尼亚的白化病患者为代表，该文件认为，需要进行人权教育，不仅要增强弱势群体捍卫和保护他们的权利的能力，还要使社会敏感地尊重而不是侵犯这些人的权利。本文最后提出了几项建议，这些建议既适用于坦桑尼亚的白化病患者，也适用于世界其他任何地方的任何弱势群体。
