🌍 International Day of Persons with Disabilities 🌟 This year, WHO embraces the theme: "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future." With 16% of the global population living with disabilities, it's time to break barriers and empower their voices in leadership roles, especially in the health sector. Every step we take toward inclusion and equitable health care counts in building a future where no one is left behind. Together, we can build a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future. #IDPD2024 #InclusionMatters #LeadershipForAll #HealthForAll #HealthcareForAll

#EquityBeyondInclusion How do you define "inclusion?" Does it include accessibility and equity or does it just mean that someone is allowed in the space? We'd love to see some definitions and how they may be interpreted.

The theme emphasizes the importance of providing opportunities for persons with disabilities to lead, contribute, and create lasting change in their communities. When given the right support, individuals with disabilities can make significant contributions in all areas of life, from education to the workforce, and beyond. Empowering them leads not only to personal growth but to a more inclusive, diverse, and sustainable future for everyone. Today, let’s reaffirm our commitment to creating opportunities for leadership, innovation, and growth for persons with disabilities, building a future that benefits all. #InternationalDayOfDisabledPersons #InclusiveFuture #DisabilityLeadership #EmpowerDisability #InclusionMatters #SustainableChange #DisabilityAwareness #LeadWithInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion

Disability isn't the Problem, Society Is! 🌍 Disability is not about individuals being "broken" or "less than." It’s about the barriers society creates physical, social, and attitudinal that limit inclusion and participation. The social model of disability shifts the focus from the person to the environment. It challenges us to recognise that inaccessible buildings, exclusionary practices, and societal stigma are what truly disable individuals, not their impairments or conditions. This perspective is central to everything we do at EnableElite CIC. By empowering people with disabilities and special needs through leadership skills training, competitions, mentoring and providing work experience, we aim to break down these barriers. We envision a world where strengths are celebrated, and opportunities are equally accessible to all. Let’s all play our part—advocating for accessibility, inclusion, and equity in every space. Together, we can create a world where disability is not a limitation but a part of human diversity. #Inclusion #DisabilityAwareness #SocialModel #EnableElite #HumanRights

Today marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a special occasion to reflect on the strength and resilience of differently abled individuals. I proudly identify as a person with a disability. It’s important to emphasize that I don’t see myself as disabled; instead, I consider myself differently abled. Today, I invite everyone to recognize that we are just like you human beings with unique experiences and capabilities. Our intention is not to label ourselves or fit into a certain box. We hope to inspire a shift in perspective, highlighting that disability or capability often depends on how we think and approach these differences. Let’s embrace inclusivity and celebrate our shared humanity. #AbilityNotDisability #InclusionIsKey #DiversityInclusion #CelebratingAbilities

Today, on International Day of People with Disability, we celebrate the achievements and contributions of people with disability while reflecting on how to create a more inclusive society. At Honeycomb Access and Design, we see how transformative accessibility can be. It’s about more than removing barriers; it’s about fostering equity, independence, and connection for everyone. When our built environments, communities, and systems are accessible, we create opportunities for everyone to thrive. Let’s use today as an opportunity to listen, learn, and commit to making accessibility a core part of our work and lives. Together, we can build a future where inclusion isn’t the exception but the norm. #IDPwD #IDPwD2024
