    Today is the first day of #FaceEqualityWeek and we're asking people to better understand the impact that staring has on those with a visible difference. Share our film to raise awareness so we can #StopTheStare before it happens. bit.ly/3yMa6wi

    This is five-year-old Elizabeth meeting her heroes @LittleMix. In July, we shared a letter from Elizabeth's parents, Liam and Sinead about their daughter, addressed to 'all those who make our daughter’s life more difficult than it should be'.

    Dear @BBC & @OnlyConnectQuiz. We were disappointed and shocked to see scars described as “marks of shame” on your show recently. There is #NoShame in having a scar. 🧵(1/2)
    Our campaigner John points at his scar, the words written on his hand says "no shame"
    Our campaigner Jenny reveals scar on abdomen, on her hand "no shame" is written.

    So many films, like Batman, use disfigurement and visible difference as a shorthand for villainy. It’s an outdated trope and perpetuates the myth that you can spot ‘evil’ via appearance. We need more positive representations of visible difference on screen.

    Batman villains are like “I’m just like YOU except I’m EVIL because I have a FACIAL DISFIGUREMENT.” It’s fucked up!
