Malina Nowicka, a cancer survivor with chronic back pain and fainting condition, says she is taking action ‘for all people with disabilities’

A cancer survivor with chronic health problems is suing one of the UK’s most prestigious museums for discrimination for allegedly denying her a suitable chair to sit on when she is at work.

Malina Nowicka, 34, works as a security guard at the Science Museum in South Kensington, London, and has assisted thousands of visitors in the five years she has worked there.
