International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3 December 2013
Over one billion people, or approximately 15 per cent of the world’s population, live with some form of disability!
Around the world, persons with disabilities face physical, social,
economic and attitudinal barriers that exclude them from participating
fully and effectively as equal members of society. They are
disproportionately represented among the world’s poorest, and lack equal
access to basic resources, such as education, employment, healthcare
and social and legal support systems, as well as have a higher rate of
mortality. In spite of this situation, disability has remained largely
invisible in the mainstream development agenda and its processes.
