The theme this year, 2020, is “Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World”.
“The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992, by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. The observance of 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 integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.” – Source: International Day of Persons with Disabilities – 3 December | United Nations Enable.
