It's important that we recognise and celebrate the achievements of people with disabilities around the world.
It's also an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in the areas of education, employment, and access to healthcare that are important to the inclusion and acceptance of people with disabilities in our society. Let us highlight the importance of creating an inclusive society that values the contributions of all people, regardless of ability as well as raising awareness of the challenges people with disabilities face and to encourage greater support and understanding of their needs.
10 things we can do to help.
1. Educate yourself and others on disability rights and resources available.
2. Host awareness campaigns and events to spread knowledge on the topic.
3. Foster an open dialogue between people with disabilities and those without disabilities.
4. Reach out to local organisations that help people with disabilities and get involved in their work.
5. Participate in online conversations to spread awareness and combat stigma.
6. Ask questions and listen to the stories of those who live with disabilities; use this knowledge to inform your conversations.
7. Be mindful of language and terminology when talking about people with disabilities.
8. Support businesses that are owned and operated by people with disabilities.
9. Advocate for disability rights in your community.
10. Stand up for people with disabilities when you see discrimination.
