This collection features first-person narratives and profiles from individuals whose lives have been touched by leprosy. From patients overcoming stigma to doctors pioneering treatment, activists championing human rights to researchers advancing medical knowledge, these testimonies illuminate the multifaceted human dimension of leprosy. Organized by geographical region, these stories from Africa, the Americas, Europe, South-East Asia, and the Western Pacific reveal both shared challenges and diverse experiences in the global fight against leprosy and discrimination.
