Collect cases of discrimination

The Coalition is working to advocate on behalf of those living with, or at risk of diseases /disorders to prevent genetic discrimination. We have been meeting with government officials to discuss this issue and explore solutions. We want to be able to provide stories of genetic discrimination to those in government. It is only by hearing from people, such as you, about their experience(s) with genetic discrimination that can help policy-makers understand the magnitude of this issue.

If you have a personal experience of discrimination to share, please fill out the survey provided below.
