Aims of International Day of Disabilities:

International Day of Persons with Disabilities is a day that promotes equality for people with disabilities in all areas of society. This day was first announced by the UN in 1992 with the aim of advancing disability rights and protecting the wellbeing of people with disabilities. The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is intended to break down barriers to inclusion and fight for the rights of individuals with disabilities. 

Disability inclusion is an essential condition to upholding human rights, peace, and security. It is also central to the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to leave no one behind. The commitment to realizing the rights of persons with disabilities is not only a matter of justice; it is an investment in a common future. People with disabilities—one billion people— are one of the most excluded groups in our society and are among the hardest hit in this crisis in terms of fatalities.
