International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD) is celebrated today, dedicated to raising awareness and supporting the rights of disabled people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations<\/a> (UN) led day of recognition occurs annually and focuses this year on the theme of fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, UN Secretary-General, said: \u201cPeople with disabilities are transforming societies – leading innovation, influencing policy, yet often, they are denied a seat at the decision-making table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn this day, let us commit to working side-by-side with persons with disabilities in all their diversity, as equal partners. Together, we can build more accessible, resilient societies where all of us thrive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the UN, people with disabilities continue to face significant obstacles daily, including higher rates of poverty, discrimination in employment and poor care structures that limit agency.<\/p>\n\n\n
