December 3rd - International Day of Persons with Disabilities

December the 3rd is the UN's International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Theme: "Inclusion Matters: access and empowerment for people of all abilities."

More than one billion people globally – around 15% of the world's population – have some form of disability. Yet the world's largest minority group faces many barriers to inclusion in key aspects of society, including discrimination and stigma.

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities, marked on 3 December annually, aims to promote empowerment, inclusion and access to reduce inequalities in society. The day is celebrated internationally to increase public awareness, acceptance and understanding of people with disability.

Here are some of the events for the day which you can participate:
