“Did you know? The term ‘right to be forgotten’ was coined by RoseUp Association. The latter was instrumental in raising awareness of the financial discrimination faced by cancer survivors and in getting the law adopted in France.
In this interview, Isabelle Huet shared insights on how this came about and how RoseUp stills fights to this day to ensure that cancer survivors are granted access to loans and mortgages on an equal footing.”
