They are often deliberately overlooked and excluded from government grants and schemes. It can be exceptionally difficult for those affected by leprosy to secure constant, reliable employment, regardless of disability. This level of constant discrimination is a serious and life altering violation of human rights.

People with leprosy are entitled to the same benefits and standard of life as anyone else. This is something Lepra passionately advocates for.
