The international Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), commemorated annually on 3rd December, creates a moment for reflection on the progresses made, the commitments fulfilled, advocating for full implementation of disability inclusive policies and call on the society, governments to advance disability rights and justice, for sustainable development.
Whereas states are obligated to accelerate progress on poverty eradication, productive employment, and social inclusion, disability inclusion remains both a precondition and a driver of lasting change.Guided by these year’s global theme; The CRPD at 20: Building on Progress, Advancing the Future, the IDPD 2026, is pegged on the two decades of the UNCRPD, commitments made and key achievements and the underlying gaps.
