Declared by the United Nations in 1992, December 3rd is annually observed as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As per the UN, “The observance of this day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilise support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.”
With every year focusing on a unique theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the theme for 2021 is “Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.”
In this story, we will learn how individual organisations are promoting sustainable inclusion and accessibility for PwD. Let’s first take a closer look at what individuals from the community seek and what factors contribute to social disability.
