Can people with MCS fight discrimination even without full medical recognition?
In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Aaron Goodman speaks with human-rights lawyer Paloma Torres López, co-founder of MEDUSA Human Rights in Madrid, Spain.
They discuss:
Why people with MCS shouldn’t have to wait for full medical recognition
Disability rights and the social model of disability
Accessibility and reasonable accommodation
Discrimination at work, in schools, healthcare and public spaces
Fragrance-free environments as an accessibility measure
Paloma explains how environmental barriers can prevent people with MCS from participating equally in society — and why disability and human-rights law may offer another path toward recognition, access and equality.
