Globally, World International Day of Persons with Disabilities was observed on December 3. According to some estimates more than a billion people, approximately 15% of the world’s population, live with some form of disability. This day, established by the United Nations in 1992, serves as an opportunity to affirm their dignity, rights, and well-being. On this day it is important for us to reflect not merely on the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, but also to celebrate their substantial contributions to our societies and to the world. There is a dire need to appreciate the progress made in the battle for equal rights for persons with disabilities, while also acknowledging the considerable work that still needs to be done. It is important to remember that disability rights are not a matter of charity or pity, they are fundamental human rights. Persons with disabilities have the same aspirations and needs as everyone else, and they deserve to have the same opportunities to fulfill those aspirations. In recent years, we have seen a growing recognition of the importance of empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring their inclusion in all aspects of life. World over, many businesses, organizations, and governments have made strides in becoming more accessible and inclusive. Yet, there is still a long way to go. Disabilities, both visible and invisible, continue to be a cause of social, economic, and political marginalization. The theme for this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities is “United in action to rescue and achieve the sustainable development goals for, with and by persons with disabilities.” This theme emphasizes not just the need for accessibility and inclusion, but also the recognition of the abilities and potential of persons with disabilities. It is important to shift our focus from disability to ability. Every person, despite their physical or cognitive differences, has unique abilities and skills that can contribute to society in valuable ways. We must also remember that inclusivity benefits us all. Inclusive societies are more vibrant, diverse, and innovative. They allow everyone to contribute their talents and abilities, enriching collective growth and progress. By embracing diversity and working to eliminate barriers to participation, we can create a world that values and respects all of its citizens. On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, need of the hour is to reaffirm our commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable world. Let us remember that every individual, regardless of their abilities, has the right to live with dignity, respect, and freedom. Together, we can create a world that truly celebrates diversity, fosters inclusion, and guarantees equal rights for all.
