PLEDGE WITH US!

In these times, it’s more important than ever to continue the movement for positive change – a movement to create greater acceptance, compassion, and understanding. Through the Beyond My Face campaign, AboutFace continues to raise awareness and understanding of facial differences and the wider facial difference community.

Unfortunately, our current world has yet to fully evolve to see past appearances.
To get there, we must build acceptance, and educate our peers on what it means to have a facial difference.
Curiosity is objectively harmless, but can come off as daunting to many. The feeling of “otherness” is what we as an organization strive to eliminate.
SIGN THE PLEDGE TODAY!
Support the movement to eliminate discrimination experienced by the facial difference community.

SEE BEYOND MY FACE

Beyond My Face campaign features members of the facial difference community who are storytellers, leaders, and challengers of stereotypes, and they’re asking everyone to see “beyond our faces, and see everything we are”.

Beyond My Face is AboutFace’s awareness campaign, which challenges the stereotypes and misconceptions of living with a facial difference. The video aims to tackle discrimination and harassment of the facial difference community, while building public understanding and acceptance.
