The History of World Vitiligo Day (WVD)

Recognizing the vitiligo community, World Vitiligo Day was first celebrated in 2011 and has since become a global event with the purpose of raising awareness and recognition of the bullying, social neglect, psychological trauma, and disability of the millions of people affected by vitiligo.
