National Day of Persons with Disabilities
This special day was established by International Work Organisation and is celebrated since1956 always on the third Sunday of March. Reason which made this day special were tragic events which happened in coalmine in Boisdu Cazier in Belgium. 262 people died in this tragic accident and left dozens badly injured. Comparable day of honour was established by ONZ -International Day of Persons with Disabilities which is celebrated on 3rd of December. These events aim to shape both a warness of problems that disabled people are facing and social exclusion as well as aspiration to equality. Social integration was always key ingredient for correct development and functionning of persons with disabilities. Thanks to international effort this situation had improved – disability is no longer seen as something to be ashamed of or unnatural.
Polish Association of Pensioners and Persons with Disabilities is organizing Celebrations of this day since 1959.
Other celebrations on the 5th of May:
– European Day Against Disability Discrimination
– Special day dedicated to mentally impaired people
