Theme for 2016: “Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want”

Since 1992, the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities has been celebrated annually on 3 December around the world. This years theme notes the recent adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the role of these goals in building a more inclusive and equitable world for persons with disabilities.

In Nepal, we celebrated 25th disability day participating in a rally organised by Ministry of women children and social welfare and coordinated by National federation of disabled Nepal. Blind youth association Nepal also actively participated in the rally with a huge participation of Blind and partially sighted youths.
