As we commemorate the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities, themed ... "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future", we are reminded of the vital contributions that individuals with disabilities make to society. This theme encourages us to recognize their leadership roles and the significance of their voices in shaping inclusive and sustainable policies and practices. By amplifying their voices, we can create environments where individuals with disabilities can lead, innovate, and contribute to a future that benefits all. The emphasise on leadership not only empowers those with disabilities but also enriches communities and organizations by integrating diverse perspectives and experiences. #IDPD2024 #DisabilityInclusion #leadershipofpersonswithdisabilities UNICEF Ethiopia
