“Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World.”

Dec 3, 2020 is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This year, the day will be commemorated throughout the week of Nov. 30 – Dec. 4 in conjunction with the 13th session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

This year’s theme is, ““Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post COVID-19 World.” The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the need to ensure that the rights of people with disabilities are promoted and protected. Now, more than ever, equality and inclusion are central to promoting sustainable development and safe communities.
