L’Association française du vitiligo was created in December 1991.

Since then, the volunteers of the French Vitiligo Association- patients or relatives of patients with vitiligo and deeply committed to a common goal- are active in representing and defending patients, in the public sphere as well as in their private or professional life.

Our main objectives

  • Provide people with vitiligo with moral support and attentive listening, inform them as well as possible about their disease (precautions to be taken, associated diseases, etc.) and on the advances in scientific research surrounding vitiligo.
  • raise awareness among the general public about vitiligo disease and its psychological impact on the patient’s life.
  • represent vitiligo patients with official institutions, to legitimize their care path in their current approach towards a much-desired cure.
  • stimulate and encourage scientific research, find funding
  • develop the international alliance of foreign associations of patients suffering from vitiligo, in collaboration with researchers and doctors from all over the world.
