Beyond Medical Recognition — MCS, Disability, & Human Rights: Paloma Torres López

**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.
