The United for Dignity campaign encourages people to stand together in honoring the dignity of persons who have had leprosy. People with leprosy encounter mental health issues as a result of stigma, discrimination, and isolation. The campaign honors individuals who have lived with leprosy by sharing their inspiring tales and campaigning for mental health and the right to a dignified life free of disease-related stigma.
Early diagnosis and treatment can cure this condition, hence the goal of this campaign is to prevent social stigma, exclusion, and seclusion, which might delay presentation and early diagnosis.
World Leprosy Day is an occasion to honor people who have been touched by the disease, increase awareness of the disease's signs and symptoms, and combat the stigma that still exists.
