Migrant Clinicians Network Non-Discrimination Policy

Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in any of our programs or activities—whether operated directly or through partners—on the basis of:

Race, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or marital status, in accordance with applicable federal civil rights laws.

This commitment aligns with:

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

MCN also strictly prohibits retaliation or intimidation against anyone who files or assists with a discrimination complaint.
