Today we acknowledge International Day of People with Disability and this year’s theme, “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. An inclusive society is one where everyone feels valued and able to take part in their community. When we design systems, services and attitudes that include people of all abilities, we create stronger, healthier and more connected communities.
While today is an important moment for reflection and celebration, it should not be the only day we hold these conversations. Inclusion should guide the way we think, plan and act every day. Positive change happens when we continue to learn from the disability community and recognise the skills, strengths and contributions that enrich our workplaces, communities and relationships.
International Day of People with Disability gives us the chance to focus on the disability community and to amplify their voices, achievements and leadership. By committing to inclusion every day of the year, we help build a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
