Terms to describe people who have had leprosy
The ILO is currently carrying out a project which includes women who have had leprosy. We seeking advice from the GLADNET community on terminology currently used to describe the disabilities arising from this. We wish to avoid terms such as 'ex-leprosy patients' . Please send comments to:
ILO / Disability Programme

We look forward to receiving your comments and advice,
