International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2011
02/09/2011
0 commentsSince 1992, the United Nations' International Day of Persons with Disabilities is annually held on December 3. It aims to increase the understanding of the issues around disabilities and attention to the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.
It also aims to increase the awareness of the gains for everybody if disabled persons are integrated into all aspects of political, social, economic and cultural life and raising money for resources for persons with disabilities.
This year, for the first time, the Day will be commemorated under a general theme with supporting sub-themes to draw attention to key areas to mainstream disability in all development processes.
The theme for 2011 is: “Together for a better world for all: Including persons with disabilities in development”.
