Strengthen recognition of the rights of Women and Girls with disabilities, dismantle barriers to inclusion and expand opportunities for their meaningful participation and leadership.

 

“Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress.”


Each year on 3 December, UN Women and our partners in Asia and the Pacific celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The 2025 theme is “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress”.


Across the region, millions of women and girls with disabilities continue to face barriers that limit their access to services, opportunities and decision-making spaces. Guided by UN Women’s corporate strategy on the empowerment of women and girls with disabilities and by the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), UN Women works with women and girls with disabilities to strengthen recognition of the rights of women and girls with disabilities, dismantle barriers to inclusion and expand opportunities for their meaningful participation and leadership.
