Face Equality International
Description
Face Equality International is creating a world where everyone is treated fairly whatever their face looks like.
Run by Phyllida Swift, who has personal experience with facial scarring, they combat the injustices and violations facially different people experience, from hate crimes to infanticide. They run a global alliance of organisations that advance face equality through public awareness and legislative reforms, rather than medical fixes. Last year, their Face Equality campaign reached 1 million people. With recent research highlighting the extent of the human rights atrocities facially different people face, they are more determined than ever to grow their alliance.
Through recruiting a Communications Officer, our funding will increase the CEO’s capacity so she can pursue funding opportunities, grow the alliance and deliver FEI’s global strategy.
