A white mum and a Black dad who had a baby with albinism have opened up about the shocking racist abuse their child has already experienced at just 15 months of age.
Marwa Houma, 33, said she had expected her daughter Julia-Marie to share skin tones with her and her Black civil partner, Malcolm John, 60, but she was born instead with blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin.
The mum recounts the vicious discrimination her child has experienced at such a young age, particularly when she is with her doting father, who often has to deal with people refusing to believe that he is the baby's dad.
