The International Day of Persons with Disabilities takes place on December 3 each year. This day aims to promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities and raise awareness about the challenges they face. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of persons with disabilities and advocate for their inclusion in all aspects of society.   

One of the main objectives of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is to promote the rights of people with disabilities; this includes advocating for equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other services. It also involves raising awareness about the importance of removing barriers and creating an inclusive environment that allows persons with disabilities to participate fully in society.  

Another reason behind the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is to celebrate their achievements and contributions. This day provides an opportunity to highlight the talents, skills, and accomplishments of individuals with disabilities in various fields, such as sports, arts, science, and entrepreneurship. By showcasing their achievements, we can change the stereotypes and misconceptions about disabilities.  

The theme for 2023 is, "United in action to rescue and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for, with, and by persons with disabilities." 

By recognizing and respecting the rights of individuals with disabilities, we can work towards a more accessible and inclusive society for everyone.
