Even today, leprosy causes disability and social exclusion. The disease affects millions of lives. NLR focuses on the four most pressing issues standing in the way of a leprosy-free world.
The Corona virus and the measures which governments are consequently taking, are impacting lives across the globe. Especially the most vulnerable often feel insecure about how to prevent infection. Isolation and social distancing further fuels feelings of loneliness. We wish you and your loved ones a lot of strength and health during this difficult time.
On the 8th of May 2019, NHR Brazil participated in a meeting with the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons Affected by Leprosy and their Family Members, Ms. Alice Cruz.
