Today, December 3, is International Day of Persons with Disabilities!

In 1992, a United Nations General Assembly resolution proclaimed this annual day of observance to “promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development.” 

This year’s theme, “amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future,” is being commemorated with events that integrate PWD leadership into its global sustainable development goals.
