“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.

- still face abuse and name-calling at work
- are rejected from jobs because of their face.
