“Today, I learned that people are less likely to sit next to someone with a facial difference on the train. It’s not something we think about day-to-day, but it reflects the unconscious biases we carry. This training really opened my eyes to the stigmas and the impact they have on people’s lives.” – Eleanor, e-commerce sales
The problem of disfigurement discrimination has been forgotten in the push for diversity and inclusion.
Shockingly, many people with appearance affecting differences are:
- are ignored, stared at or even asked to leave some shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.
- still face abuse and name-calling at work
- are rejected from jobs because of their face.
WE’RE GOING TO CHANGE THIS.

Answering questions
What does face equality mean? What is the right terminology to use? Is it ever OK to ask? How does facial difference affect someone?
