Senator McMorrow offered the following resolution:
A resolution to designate September 27, 2023, as Face Equality Day.
Whereas, Facial disfigurement, whether congenital, trauma related or acquired, is a neglected global human rights issue often leading to poverty, prejudice, and exclusion; and
Whereas, Face Equality Day brings public awareness to the issues and prejudices people with facial disfigurements experience, including health inequities, online abuse, workplace discrimination, and hate crimes; and
Whereas, Face Equality International has brought together 35 worldwide organizations, including Burn Survivors Of Michigan, to provide a source of hope, sense of community, and continued advocacy to improve lives around the world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate September 27, 2023, as Face Equality Day; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge residents to take part in raising awareness and support for those with facial disfigurements.
