International Day of Persons with Disabilities FAQs​

International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is a United Nations observance that raises awareness of disability rights, promotes inclusion, and celebrates the contributions of persons with disabilities across society.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities takes place every year on 3 December.

The day highlights the barriers persons with disabilities encounter in everyday life. This helps to encourage organisations and governments to take action towards a more inclusive society.
