DIGESTION INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (IDPD), 3 DECEMBER 2021 The annual observance of the International Day of Disabled Persons was proclaimed in 1992 by United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. It aims to promote the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities in all spheres of society and development, and to increase awareness of the situation of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (IDPD) IS A UN DAY THAT IS CELEBRATED EVERY YEAR ON 3 DECEMBER. THE DAY IS ABOUT PROMOTING THE RIGHTS AND WELL-BEING OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AT EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY AND DEVELOPMENT, AND TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE SITUATION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN ALL ASPECTS OF POLITICAL, SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL LIFE. WHO JOINS THE UN IN OBSERVING THIS DAY EACH YEAR, REINFORCING THE IMPORTANCE OF SECURING THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, SO THEY CAN PARTICIPATE FULLY, EQUALLY AND EFFECTIVELY IN SOCIETY WITH OTHERS, AND FACE NO BARRIERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES. Annually WHO decides on a theme and develops evidence-based advocacy materials such as brochures, flyers, posters, banners, infographics, and presentations, among others. These materials are shared with partners in government and civil society around the world as well as WHO regional and country offices. At its headquarters in Geneva, WHO organizes an annual IDPD event to educate the public, raise awareness, advocate for political will and resources, and celebrate WHO’s achievements.

DIGESTION IDPD : “LEADERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION OF THE PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES TOWARD AN 2021 INCLUSIVE, ACCESSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE THEME POST-COVID-19 WORLD.” Secretary- General’s Message on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities The theme for IDPD this year is “Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.” United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy When launching the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy in June 2019, the Secretary-General stated that the United Nations should lead by example and raise the Organization’s standards and performance on disability inclusion—across all pillars of work, from headquarters to the field. The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work of the United Nations. Through the Strategy, the United Nations system reaffirms that the full and complete realization of the human rights of all persons with disabilities is an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. In recognition of this commitment, the Secretary-General submitted in October 2020, the first comprehensive report on steps taken by the United Nations system to mainstream disability inclusion and implement the Strategy since its launch. This year, we are celebrating the challenges, barriers and opportunities for people who live with disabilities, in the context of a global pandemic. Since March 2020, every person on earth has been impacted by drastic political, social and economic change as a result of domestic and international responses to COVID-19. This year, International Day of People with Disabilities should be used to recognise that people who live with disabilities are among the most affected populations amid the COVID pandemic. Where marginalisation, discrimination, vulnerability and exploitation are every day factors for many people, the increased risk of poor outcomes have been magnified with the reduced access to routine health care and rehabilitation services, more pronounced social isolation, poorly tailored public health messaging, inadequately constructed mental health services, and a lack of emergency preparedness for people with special needs. We call on domestic and international public health officials, political representatives, advocates, supporters, and every citizen in every community, to learn from the experiences of people living with disabilities during this pandemic, and push for more meaningful investments into the socioeconomic building blocks which will reduce the barriers faced by people with disabilities in every community on earth.
