Today, December 3, 2024: International Day of Persons with Disabilities This year’s theme, "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future," reminds us of the invaluable contributions that individuals with disabilities make in shaping a better world. 💪 As highlighted by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, persons with disabilities often face the greatest challenges in times of global crisis but are too often excluded from creating solutions. Let’s change that by empowering their voices and leadership in our communities. At the same time, we’re also celebrating UK Disability History Month, a time to reflect on the strides made toward equality and the work still needed to break down barriers. Together, these observances inspire action for inclusion, respect, and opportunity for all. #IDPD2024

On December 3, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities! This year, the theme is "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future." Persons with disabilities make up 16% of the global population, yet they rarely access leadership roles. They commonly face numerous barriers which prevent them from accessing these roles, such as discrimination, stigma, or exclusion from education and employment opportunities. Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities is essential to make meaningful progress in building a more inclusive and sustainable future! #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities #DisabilityAwareness

🎉 Celebrating 34 Years of the Americans with Disabilities Act! 🎉 Today, we proudly honor the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Signed into law on July 26, 1990, the ADA has been a cornerstone in the fight for civil rights and equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. The ADA has: ✅ Promoted accessibility in public spaces and buildings ✅ Ensured equal opportunities in employment ✅ Enhanced access to education and transportation ✅ Fostered greater inclusion in all aspects of community life While we celebrate the progress made, we also recognize that much more work needs to be done. People with disabilities still face stereotypes, discrimination, and barriers that prevent full participation in society. Let's continue to advocate for equality, accessibility, and respect for all individuals, regardless of ability. Together, we can build a more inclusive world for everyone. Here's to celebrating the achievements and continuing the work toward a fully inclusive world! 🌍💙 #ADA34 #Inclusion #Accessibility #EqualityForAll #EndDiscrimination
