Right now, people with a visible difference are being ignored, abused and silenced, just because of how they look. Share your story about living with a visible difference.

"Let us together change society’s view of perfection, let us together educate and promote acceptance."

👏 to our Champion Shankar for sharing his wonderful, personal vitiligo story and his thoughts on how the fashion industry is embracing visible difference.

I needed a vitiligo champion like Primark's new model when I was a teenager | Metro News
As a teenager, I was too afraid to show my vitiligo – I’d given in to society’s view of perfection and deemed myself unworthy.

No one deserves to suffer abuse because of the way they look.

The levels of harassment can be so extreme that they are classed as a hate crime, yet as reflected in this poll, many simply don’t know what to do if they see someone being abused.

"I had to wait to accept my body. There are people who go through their entire life and don’t accept themselves.”

Instagram influencer Michelle Elman used to hide her scars but that all changed when a photo she shared on social media went viral.

You can still donate to our The Telegraph Appeal and help us fight for people with a visible difference to get the support they need 👉 telegraph.ctdonate.org

We’ve had an overwhelmingly positive response after posting a story on our social media channels about Primark’s newest male model, a young boy called Kaiden who has Vitiligo.

Primark are setting a brilliant example and we want to see more mainstream brands working with real people of all appearances so that fashion is truly accessible to all. We would love to work with brands on inclusive campaigns that give people with visible differences the opportunity to be part of the fashion world.
