A special post to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3
What do you think of when someone says “special arrangements for disability”? Do you know anyone who lives with a disability?
According to the UN, there are over 1 billion people worldwide who live with some form of disability. Wherever they are in the world, they face not only physical barriers, but also social, economic, and attitudinal barriers. Since 1992, the UN has aimed to remove these barriers through public awareness and understanding, with an international observance on December 3. The Day seeks to mobilise support for disabled people and maximise their unique contributions in political, social, economic and cultural life.
