Promoted by the United Nations, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (originally called 'International Day of Disabled Persons') has been celebrated on December 3 since 1992. The aim is to further raise awareness of disability issues and to call for world-wide support for the rights and well-being of disabled people. Although this day has a different theme each year, its general theme is equal opportunities and full integration of people of disabilities in society.
