#HumanRightsDay is a call to everyone. Respect your community. Support activists who fight for our rights. Care about our environment🙏

Human rights are more than principles. They are a roadmap for a peaceful, prosperous world. When human rights are mainstreamed in development, human dignity is protected, and no one is left behind 🌍

3.7 billion people have the opportunity to vote this year.

Yet, for persons with disabilities barriers remain.

As part of the @UN, we're committed to amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities.

More from @ASteiner on #DisabilityDay:

#IDPD

[Marcos Athias Neto @marcosathias]

#DYK? Persons with disabilities are 7 times more likely to not have access to healthcare when they need it than those w/o disabilities.

As we mark #DisabilityDay, we need urgent action to address systematic inequalities that persons with disabilities face in all aspects of life.

[UN Development @UNDP]

1.3 billion people live w/ a disability.

They face stigma, discrimination and lack of social support.

Tuesday’s #DisabilityDay is a reminder to protect the rights of persons w/ disabilities and provide equal opportunities for them to thrive in the workforce and beyond.

#IDPD

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

As we mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we recognize that breaking barriers & amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities is essential to building an inclusive, just, & sustainable world. #IDPD2024

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities!💡

Persons with disabilities must have a seat at decision-making tables to fully and effectively participate in decisions that affect their lives.📊

Persons with disabilities must also be fully included in data collection processes, as the most recent UN Global Progress Report on SDG 16 Indicators calls for.
