https://lnkd.in/dduVb9Z7 It's International Day of Persons Living with Disabilities. Take out time to read up and be well informed, if you haven't had the opportunity to be around any Person Living with Disabilities. Make out time to share, educate and inform others of facts. Never engage in conversations that could be misleading about them. Try not to define any person by the disability or disabilities that individual could be facing. Be fair, be empathetic, be caring and thoughtful.

International Day of Person with Disabilities...3 December Let's secure and support the rights of persons with disabilities to make big difference towards DEI... 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. When we secure the rights of persons with disabilities, we move our world closer to upholding the core values and principles of the United Nations Charter. #PWD #Personwithdisability #Accessibility #DEI

Today is International Day Of Persons With Disabilities. This year's theme is "United in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with and by persons with disabilities". Preliminary findings from the forthcoming UN Disability and Development Report 2023 indicate that the world is even more off track in meeting several Sustainable Development Goals for persons with disabilities. We know people with disabilities are more likely to live in poverty and be marginalized. Let's use this year's International Day of Persons With Disabilities to shed light on the work that still needs to be done to meet the needs and sustainable goals for people living with a disability. #DisabilityDay #IDPD #EveryoneIncluded

International Day of People with Disabilities raises awareness about the ways in which disabilities affect people economically, socially, and politically, and it promotes the rights of people with disabilities. It also aims to ensure the well-being and dignity of those who are disabled, by educating people to understand what it is like to live it a disability (and that not all disabilities are visible). #AltitudeRecruitment #WeLoveRecruitment #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities
