International Day of Persons with Disabilities was observed today (Sunday) in Pakistan and across the globe.
When launching the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy in June 2019, the Secretary-General stated that the United Nations should lead by example and raise the Organization’s standards and performance on disability inclusion—across all pillars of work, from headquarters to the field.
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.
In August 2023, the Secretary-General submitted his fourth report on steps taken by the UN system to implement the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy in 2022.
On this Day, WHO joins partners around the world to call for action to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) for, with, and by persons with disabilities.
