2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), Dec 3. A Crusader for the Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens, Dr Oluedo Eric has frowned at the manner Persons with Disabilities (PLWDs), are excluded from leadership positions from Community to the National and International levels of governance. Speaking on the Theme for the 2024 International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD): “Amplifying the Leadership of Persons with Disabilities for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future”, Dr Oluedo who is also a Health Policy Expert, calls on National and Sub national bodies of the world, to embrace the 2024 Theme and formulate befitting Policies for result oriented and Sustainable inclusivity of PLWDs in all leadership positions from Community to the National and International levels.
The theme highlights the importance of empowering people with disabilities to take the lead in shaping their own futures and contributing to society. The day aims to promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities in all aspects of society, and to increase awareness of their situation. The leadership of persons with disabilities is epitomised by the global disability rights movement’s slogan “Nothing About Us Without Us”. It connotes the basic requirements of participation, representation and inclusion and calls for persons with disabilities to actively shape the conditions of their lives.
The observance of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2024 takes place against the backdrop of pivotal global developments, from the Summit of the Future to the upcoming Second World Summit for Social Development. These key global Summits will complement one another in providing a continuous roadmap toward disability-inclusive and sustainable peace and development. By emphasising this complementarity, the theme chosen for the observance in 2024 aims to underscore the importance of leveraging the leadership of persons with disabilities to ensure disability-inclusive and sustainable peace and development for all.
The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work of the United Nations. Through the Strategy, the United Nations system reaffirms that the full and complete realization of the human rights of all persons with disabilities is an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
