Our annual reminder, brought to you by campaigner @kaylinmcl95 💙

Scars, marks and visible differences aren’t scary. So why do we keep seeing them used to make characters look frightening, in film, tv and the media we consume.

When scars, burns and visible differences are repeatedly used as a shorthand for villains, monsters or characters we’re meant to fear, it can reinforce the idea that looking different is something to be scared of.

These messages don’t just stay on screen. They can show up in the real world, too, including at Halloween - when scars and visible differences are sometimes added to costumes to make them more frightening, shocking or ‘creepy’.

For the millions of people living with a visible difference, these aren’t just fun accessories that can be taken off at the end of the night, or wiped away. They’re part of everyday life.

This Halloween, please think twice before using visible difference as a costume, and start thinking about the messages we’re sending when we do.

Scars, marks and visible differences are part of life, they’re not a costume. 🦋

It’s Face Equality week!
In my drawing series, ‘Look this Way,’ I am honoured to have drawn such amazing people and continue to raise awareness of those with visible facial differences.
Let’s make every difference the norm and celebrate their stories.
