The FD community report experiences of discrimination, abuse & neglect. We want to amplify your stories & ensure better protection for people to live freely without indignity & discrimination. Crystal @carlyfindlay & @Jono_Lancaster explain why #FaceEquality is a human right.

Face transplants might sound like science fiction reserved for movies.
But they are happening NOW!
We worked with @AboutFaceOrg to explain face transplant ethics through an animation & info-comic.

What are the challenges with #ArtificialIntelligence and Facial Difference? Our CEO @PhyllidaSwift wrote a blog for @AboutFaceYork exploring themes where AI can pose potential bias and censorship of the FD community.

This week, we’re telling parents not to panic when their children show curiosity about difference. Instead, acknowledge their curiosity and talk about differences.
Our campaigner, Eleanor, shares how she felt when a parent was embarrassed to address their child’s curiosity 👇
ALT Eleanor is blonde and has a port wine stain. She says: "I'm more than happy for parents to talk to their children about my birthmark, or come up to me and ask me about it nicely. That way, it shows children that there’s nothing wrong with me and difference doesn’t need to be made into a big deal.”

Join us in calling out @Disney for telling young generations to fear scars and facial differences.
'He puts the “Scar” in “scary.”'
This directly leads to bullying and abuse and it needs to STOP!
