Happy International Day Of People WITH DISABILITY!

Today is International Day Of People with Disability which is a day where we celebrate everything that people with a disability bring to our communities and to promote a more inclusive world for all. Today’s theme is ‘leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-covid-19 world.’ Covid 19 has affected us all and for some In more ways than others specially for a lot of people with a disability however, the pandemic is no excuse to stop advocating for a more inclusive and accepting world for people with disabilities. 

 Today I would like to challenge you all to rethink the way you see disability by seeing the “ability” in the “disability” as even though those of us with a disability have difficulties in some aspects of life we also can be talented, funny, friendly and amazing individuals if only people would see past our disability to get to know us.

Today I would like to ask you all to support individuals with a disability in your local community whether that be attending an art show, listening to music by a local artist, supporting disability run businesses or just talking to them to show your support and that you see them as an important part of your community.

Let’s use today not just to celebrate the amazing things that people with a disability bring to the world but also by helping to make our local communities a more inclusive and accessible place. Let’s acknowledge our diverse world and make it accessible to all.

If you would like to learn more about how you can celebrate today feel free to head to https://www.idpwd.com.au/

 With that I would like to wish everyone a happy International Day of People with Disability.
