A reparação possível: o respeito aos direitos humanos das pessoas com hanseníase

Leprosy is one of the oldest known illnesses, with records dating back to antiquity. Over time, people with the disease have been stripped of their human rights through policies of isolation, exclusion and even eugenic policies, separating their children from their mothers and fathers who are carriers. The challenge today is the promotion, by Nations that have experienced the disease in their history, of promoting policies aimed at preventing abuses and affronts to human rights and repairing, including with compensation, the evils suffered during historical apartheid.
