Vitiligo stigma within the British Asian community documentary

Posted by Kathleen Pedersen on March 24, 2013 at 11:49am in Main

Hi all,

I am currently working on a short documentary about Vitiligo Stigma within the British Asian community. Amy, who is working with me on the documentary has Vitiligo herself, and through a friendship with someone who has Vitiligo and was Asian, realised the stigma within this community is prevalent.

 

So I'm posting on here to see if anyone who is British-Asian would be able to participate in our documentary to describe their experience, whether they have experienced stigma or not. Please message me if you would like to participate.

Thank you

Kathleen Pedersen

          We are mainly trying to focus on the stigma and individuals stories. We are also interviewing various experts in the field.
