International Day of Persons with Disabilities
3 December 2011
Around 10% of the world’s population, or 650 million people, live with disabilities. People are often unaware of the great number of persons living with disabilities around the world and the challenges they face. WHO’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities through national, regional and global efforts and to raise awareness about the magnitude and consequences.
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 inclusion of persons with disabilities in every aspect of life.
