    International Day of Disabled Persons





    Background
    The annual observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) on 3 December was proclaimed in 1992 by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 47/3. The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.

    Theme 2024:
    The theme for the 2024 International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPwD) is "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future". The theme highlights the importance of people with disabilities as leaders and how they can make the world a fairer place for everyone.

    Nepal needs a disabled friendly infrastructure- some examples from across the Nation


    Asha Sunar, 15, lives in a mountainous district of Nepal. She can't get to the second floor of her school because she has polio on both legs. Her school is not disabled-friendly and she has limited access to her school.

    Asha Sunar's life is even more difficult in the post-covid world. Life has become even more difficult for people with disabilities, such as Asha, due to Covid's adverse effects this year.

    There are millions of other people like Asha, 15 per cent of the world's population live with some form of disability and do not have equal access to most of the manmade physical structures.

    Kashi Sah of Mahottari district is blind. According to him, People with disabilities do not have equal access to many such offices and structures.

    "I don't understand the news coming on TV and I don't understand the serials no matter how much I like them," says Kashi.

    When I see others laughing while watching comedy programs, I also like to understand and laugh, but I can't. Baglung district's deaf sister Vinita DC said in a conversation with Hamro Patro. It is important to make society and the world disability-friendly. Inclusive means not only language, culture, and geography but also making disabled people successful in the pace of development by bringing them together easily.

    If people with disabilities are given equal opportunity in a positive environment, they can face any challenges. Whether it's a writer like Jhamak Kumari or Helen Keller or Stephen Hawkins. World Disability Day has been celebrated around the world on December 3 every year since 1992. Today, various programs and seminars, rallies are organized, slogans of equality and encouragement resound and it is hoped that these voices will resound throughout the year.

    Today, the positive and achievement stories of people with disabilities are observed and listened to by the world community through various mediums, while on the other hand, they are also lobbied for a disability-friendly society and structure.

    Friends with disabilities need love, harmony, equal care, and encouragement. May their self-confidence always remain and may their continuous meaningful participation in creative and structural work be sustained. Self-esteem and a sense of equality develop only when one does not have to depend on others for one's livelihood. The government, the international community, and non-governmental organizations also focus on creating livelihood and income-generating activities for disabled friends, which is a very good thing.

    By enabling disabled people to make a living by doing skill-based business, they should not be deprived of the warm light of education due to disability, get equal treatment in society, and have an easy health care access system.


    Happy December 3rd, this special day brings energy and solidarity for a better world.


    -Suyog Dhakal

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
