International Day
of
Persons with
Disabilities
"Today, the world population is
over 7 billion people and more than
one billion people, or approximately
15 per cent of the world’s population,
live with some form of disability;
80 per cent live in developing countries.
The annual observance of the
International Day of Disabled Persons was
proclaimed in 1992 by United Nations General Assembly
resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and
well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres
of society and development, and to increase
awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities
in every aspect of political, social, economic
and cultural life.
The theme for IDPD this year is “Leadership and
participation of persons with disabilities toward
an inclusive, accessible and sustainable
post-COVID-19 world." (…)”
