🌍💙 The International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPwD) is today, December 3, 2024. This year’s theme, "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future," reminds us that inclusion is not just a goal—it’s a journey. We’ve made progress, but let’s be honest—we still have a long way to go. Not all disabilities are visible, everyone communicates differently, and it’s not a disability—it’s a different ability. Let's break barriers, challenge biases, and create a world where everyone can thrive. 💪✨  #IDPwD #InclusionMatters #DifferentAbilities #BreakingBarriers

At Diamond Media, we stand in solidarity with the over 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities. This year, we celebrate their strength, resilience, and the invaluable contributions they make to society while advocating for a world that embraces inclusion, accessibility, and equality. Persons with disabilities often face significant barriers—physical, societal, and systemic, that limit opportunities and access. It is our collective responsibility to break these barriers and create an environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive and live with dignity.

Today, December 3rd, we celebrate The International Day of Persons with Disabilities—a day to honor the strength, contributions, and rights of people with disabilities worldwide. People like my incredible daughter, Frankie. 🧡💙 This year’s theme, “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future,” highlights the importance of disability-inclusive leadership. As a mum to a child with disabilities and complex needs, I see every day how much potential, resilience, and brilliance people with disabilities bring to the world when given the opportunity to thrive. Because a person needs more, doesn’t mean they are less deserving of a good life. More needs to be done in healthcare, education, law, NDIS, government, community and society to support, embrace and include people with disabilities. Equal rights are human rights. Let’s break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and build a future where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. Inclusion isn’t just a goal; it’s a responsibility we all share. 💙🧡 #IDPWD2024 #InclusionMatters #DisabilityAwareness #SustainableFuture #equality #accessability #respect #equalopportunity #equalrights #humanrights #inclusion #raredisease #raregenetics #autism #neurodiversity #adhd #globaldevelopmentaldelay #physicaldisability #intellectualdisability #care #kindness #respect
