The International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is celebrated annually on December 3rd by the United Nations. The day aims to:

• Promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities
• Raise awareness of the situation of people with disabilities in all aspects of life
• Mobilize support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of people with disabilities 

The UN General Assembly proclaimed the IDPD in 1992 with resolution 47/3. 

Some ways to show support on the IDPD include: 

• Sharing your experience using public services and offering tips on how to make them more accessible 
• Showing how a building or space could be redesigned to be more accessible 
• Demonstrating how an assistive technology device or software helps you in your daily life 
• Adopting the color purple to show your commitment to promoting inclusivity and equality for disabled people
