In response to the rising health risks associated with skin bleaching, the Nigerian Association of Dermatologists (NAD) has launched a nationwide public awareness campaign encouraging Nigerians to embrace their natural skin tone and prioritise their health. The campaign, themed “EmbraceYourSkin”, was introduced at a press conference attended by dermatologists, health advocates, journalists, and stakeholders across the healthcare and beauty sectors.
The overall goal of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is to protect human health and the environment from the releases of mercury.
