International Day of People with Disability
International Day of People with Disability (December 3) is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since 1992. It has been celebrated with varying degrees of success around the planet.
The observance of the Day aims to promote an
understanding of disability issues and mobilize 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.
It was originally called "International Day of
Disabled Persons".[1] Each year the day focuses on a different issue.
