Disability rights continue to lag behind other equality movements worldwide. Disfigurement rights have an even more uncertain position, sometimes included in disability rights law, but often not explicitly. This article describes the efforts of Face Equality International to end "face-ism" worldwide, and how healthcare and mental health providers, community developers, and educators can engage to move this vision forward. Beyond medical and surgical treatments, mental health needs, societal, and legal barriers must be addressed. We call for strong and explicit legal protections for disfigurement. Culturally appropriate public education to counteract stigma is crucial in shaping an inclusive and sustainable environment for people with disfigurements.
在全球范围内，残疾人权利仍落后于其他平等运动。毁容者权利的地位则更加不确定，有时被纳入残疾人权利法，但往往没有明确规定。本文介绍了国际面部平等组织为在全球消除“面部歧视”所做的努力，以及医疗保健和心理健康服务提供者、社区开发者和教育工作者如何参与推动这一愿景的实现。除了医疗和外科治疗，还必须解决心理健康需求、社会和法律障碍。我们呼吁为毁容者提供强有力的明确法律保护。开展符合文化背景的公众教育以消除耻辱感，对于为毁容者塑造一个包容和可持续的环境至关重要。
