People around the world commemorate, on 3 rd December, International Day of People

with Disabilities (IDPD). This day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and
mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of people with disabilities. It also
seeks to increase awareness of gains to be derived from the integration of people with
disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
