In my role as TLM’s Global Advocacy Lead, the lead up to the International Day of Older Persons has made me wonder whether we do enough to hear their voices and ensure they are represented in our work and through our advocacy.
This month, I’d like to consider how my own experiences of working in leprosy have changed me, including how a personal diagnosis of leprosy impacted me and how a career working alongside Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy is influencing me day by day.
The latest Duck Drop blog takes a look at how AI might shape the visibility of people affected by leprosy and the ways it could support diagnosis.

In March we commemorated International Women’s Day, and honour the fight that many have given to create a more equal world. I deeply admire the women involved in the fight against leprosy, and I wanted this Duck Drop to provide a space for them to share their perspective with all of us. With this in mind, I have invited two remarkable advocates my dear friend, Lucrecia – a member of TLM’s Advocacy Working Group, as well as my wife, Cynthia, to discuss this topic with us.
En marzo conmemoramos el Día Internacional de la Mujer y honramos la importante lucha que muchas han llevado a cabo para crear un mundo más igualitario. Admiro profundamente a las mujeres involucradas en la lucha contra la lepra, y quise que este documento sirviera como un espacio para que ellas compartieran su perspectiva con todos nosotros. Con esto en mente, he invitado a dos destacadas defensoras: mi querida amiga, Lucrecia, así como mi esposa, Cynthia, para que discutan este tema con nosotros.
For International Women's Day 2026, we want to celebrate this determined mother who has fought for her daughter's wellbeing.
Welcome to a new series that is going to run throughout 2026: the Duck Drop. Each month, TLM International’s communications will focus on a new theme and as a part of that focus, I will be sharing a ‘Duck Drop,’ an opinion piece on the topic at hand. This time we will discuss the relationship between leprosy and peace.
