The World Vitiligo Day is observed on June 25 every year.

Important Days

The World Vitiligo Day, observed on June 25, is an initiative aimed to build global awareness about vitiligo. Vitiligo occurs in 1–2% of the population worldwide; a change of color in the skin creating a variety of patterns on the skin from the loss of pigment. Vitiligo is often called a disease instead of a disorder and that can have a significant negative social and/or psychological impact on patients, in part because of numerous misconceptions still present in large parts of the world.


      . A goal of the World Vitiligo Day 2012 was to raise 500,000 signatures to address the United Nations .
