December 3, International Day of Persons with Disabilities
In 1992, this day was proclaimed for the first time, following a period dedicated by the United Nations to reflecting on and raising awareness of the problems faced by this group, which at the time was known as the "Decade of Disabled Persons" (1983–1992). Since then, the UN has proclaimed this day to promote activities in favor of the social and occupational integration of people with disabilities.
On the occasion of today’s observance, focused this year on "Inclusive Millennium Development Goals: registering people with disabilities and their communities worldwide", numerous events are being held by various federations and organizations of people with disabilities:
