International Day for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
May 5 · Level 8 · #493 of 2238
International Day for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls for equal opportunities and the removal of barriers. Access to education, employment, transport and community life is a matter of human rights, rather than a favour to be granted.
How it is celebrated: advocacy groups organize awareness campaigns, meetings and discussions about accessibility. People with disabilities share their experiences and propose changes that support choice and independent living.
Accessibility goes well beyond ramps: captions, clear language and websites that work without a mouse can remove barriers too.
