Please join us in-person or virtually for our free International Women's Day event. World-leading leprologist Emeritus Professor Diana Lockwood, who has devoted her career to research and treating people with leprosy, will talk about her work and achievements. Manikyamma from India and Maksuda from Bangladesh will speak about how leprosy adversely affects women and how, through their resilience and hard work, they have turned their lives around. Maria del Mar Marais and Mowmita Basak, Lepra's programme managers, will share how they work directly with teams in India and Bangladesh to bring about lasting change in communities affected by leprosy.
