A/HRC/37/57 B. Witchcraft-related harmful practices 8. In previous reports (A/HRC/34/59 and A/71/255), the Independent Expert showed how interrelated factors, including witchcraft-related harmful practices, contributed to ongoing outbreaks of attacks and discrimination against persons with albinism. 9. To further the debate, the Independent Expert organized, in Geneva in September 2017, the first-ever systematic and in-depth workshop3 on witchcraft and human rights. The two-day workshop brought together United Nations experts, academics and members of civil society to discuss the violence associated with such beliefs and practices and their impact, particularly on groups in vulnerable situations, including persons with albinism. 10. Workshop participants addressed the various manifestations of witchcraft, its scope, the difficulties associated with its definition and its links to harmful practices, as well as ritual attacks and killings. In addition, victims of witchcraft-related harmful practices shared their experiences. The workshop was concluded with an identification of best practices, recommendations and suggestions for the way forward (A/HRC/37/57/Add.2). C. Other activities 11. In addition, the Independent Expert participated in numerous public engagements, including interventions in a multiplicity of local and international media events, conferences, campaigns, consultations and expert meetings, which allowed her to increase awareness among a diverse and extensive audience, provide input, share information and promote good practices with regard to the enjoyment of human rights by persons with albinism. III. The right to health of persons with albinism A. Introduction 12. Persons with albinism are entitled to the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination of any kind. Under international human rights law, the content and scope of the right to health are defined by international standards and jurisprudence. Considering the evolutionary nature of those standards, the right to health of persons with albinism requires contextualization and the factoring-in of exogenous issues. That is particularly important because persons with albinism are victims of multiple and intersecting discrimination, which hinders the enjoyment of their right to the highest attainable standard of health. 13. The present report is based on research conducted and information collected by the Independent Expert through country visits, academic research, questionnaires sent to member States, organizations serving persons with albinism and other non-governmental organizations.4 3 4 4 With the University of Lancaster, the Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences, and the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
