How to make meaningful impact this International Day of People with Disabilities

Saturday 3 December 2022 is International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPwD).

The theme this year is “Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world“.

Celebrating the disabled community on December 3rd is great, but for true change, there needs to be more than a single day of recognition.

Awareness days come and go, and we each have a responsibility to ensure that the attention and support for disabled people on this day does not end on 3rd December. So how can we make this IDPwD have a truly meaningful impact and carry momentum?

If you ‘missed the date, that doesn’t need to stand in your way. Every day is the right day to show your commitment to Disability Inclusion and Equity in our workplaces.
