INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

   

On December three this 12 months, at some point of the once a year birthday celebration of humans with disabilities, the 2021 theme is ‘preventing for rights within the submit-COVID technology.”

In these 12 months, we're celebrating the demanding situations, barriers, and possibilities for people who live with disabilities, in the context of a worldwide pandemic.

when you consider that in March 2020, every person on this planet has been impacted with the aid of drastic political, social and monetary trade as a result of home and worldwide responses to COVID-19.

This 12 months, worldwide Day of People with Disabilities have to be used to recognize that folks that live with disabilities are most of the most affected populations amid the COVID pandemic. in which marginalization, discrimination, vulnerability, and exploitation are everyday factors for many human beings, the extended hazard of terrible results had been magnified with the decreased get entry to recurring fitness care and rehabilitation services, extra suggested social isolation, poorly tailor-made public health messaging, inadequately built mental health offerings, and a loss of emergency preparedness for human beings with unique needs.

We call on domestic and worldwide public fitness officers, political representatives, advocates, supporters, and every citizen in each community, to learn from the stories of humans living with disabilities for the duration of this pandemic, and push for more meaningful investments into the socioeconomic building blocks so that you can reduce the boundaries confronted by people with disabilities in every network on the earth.
