About FEI

An Alliance of worldwide NGOs devoted to ensuring the facial difference community can live freely, without indignity or discrimination.

The mission of Face Equality International (FEI) is to mobilise the many groups and organisations, big and small, national and international, which support and represent people with facial differences and disfigurements and thereby to create the critical mass and solidarity needed to gain global attention for the campaign for face equality.

About FEI

The campaign for ‘face equality’ was launched in May 2008 by the UK charity/NGO, Changing Faces, with the aim of creating a world in which people who have disfigurements to their face from any cause are accepted and valued as equal citizens, free of prejudice, low expectations and stigma. The campaign has attracted worldwide attention and has strong parallels with those against racism and sexism.

CREATING A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY WHATEVER THEIR FACE LOOKS LIKE.

Facial Recognition Technology Challenges for People with Facial Differences

Facial recognition technology works by mapping key points on a face and comparing them to a database of known faces. The accuracy of these systems heavily depends on the diversity and quality of the data used to train them.
