NOAH has worked with Positive Exposure and the Under the Same Sun Fund to stop the violence against individuals with albinism in parts of Africa, specifically in Tanzania.
In that nation, dozens of people with albinism have been slaughtered by individuals believing that their body parts will bring them good fortune.
in 2006 NOAH criticized the creators of the film The Da Vinci Code for its portrayal of a clichéd and offensive albino character named Silas.
In a report by the Associated Press, NOAH President Mike McGowan was quoted as saying "The Da Vinci character is just the latest in a long string.
"[2] Skinema.com, a Web site run by San Francisco dermatologist Vail Reese, documents the portrayal of conditions like albinism in the media.
Session topics include genetic research, vision testing, educational concerns, employment, makeup, social issues and technology.
In 1998, NOAH established a relationship with Positive Exposure, a New York-based initiative that celebrates genetic diversity through photography and international advocacy efforts.
