MYSTERY EXPLAINED: When we launched the World Vitiligo Day campaign, we created a new website, 25June.org, featuring a petition urging the United Nations to officially recognize the event.
Initially, we didn't include the signatures Ogo Maduewesi collected through Petitions24.com in 2011-12, as they were originally gathered in memory of Michael Jackson and his battle with vitiligo, as a premise for the World Vitiligo Day.
However, as the campaign gained momentum, we received tremendous support from Michael Jackson fans. In light of this, we updated the official counter to include the 1,415 signatures Ogo had collected earlier.
We're also incorporating signatures from printed leaflets mailed in and gathered by activists worldwide.
For a comprehensive view of the campaign's progress, please refer to the attached file containing detailed statistics.
