International Day of Solidarity with Persons with Disabilities. The purpose of celebrating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is to highlight the problems faced by people with disabilities around the world and to emphasize the usefulness of these persons in society. This day is celebrated all over the world including Pakistan on December 3 every year.

The decision to commemorate the day was reached by passing a resolution in the United Nations. Seminars, workshops, and recreational activities in their honor are also organized on this occasion for the welfare of persons with disabilities and their good education and training and encouragement.

For them to play their full role in society, according to the World Health Organization, there are currently 600 million people with disabilities in the world, meaning that one in 10 people in the world has a disability. Opportunities are not available, while in developed countries the proportion is 50 to 70 percent, while 80 percent of them belong to developing countries.

According to the United Nations, there are currently 650 million disabled people in the world. That is ten percent of the world's population. Which are considered a burden in developing countries? They are given the location of such an old car. Which can never be cured? The tragedy is that 80% of the people in these countries are disabled. In developed countries, only 20% are disabled. An NGO estimates that more than 20% of the population in developing countries has a physical disability. Which are provided worldwide, and the burden of treatment falls on governments. In developing countries, the opposite is true.

Eighty to ninety percent of the special people in developing countries do not have the opportunity to move forward in life, and they are useless despite their abilities. While in developed its proportion is fifty to seventy percent. In developing countries, no special attention is paid to the education and fundamental rights of special people and 90% of special children are not sent to school.

Currently, about 20 million unborn children in the world are born disabled due to maternal weakness and other reasons. However, men's own hands are also crippling countless people with anti-humanitarian policies and actions. Special people proved their mettle in every part of the world and proved it with their abilities.

If co-operated with, they can live their lives like normal people. The purpose of celebrating this day is to go beyond color, race, and caste and pledge to play our full role in the rehabilitation of special people.

Expressing solidarity with people with disabilities and integrating them into the mainstream of life by protecting them from any kind of sense of inferiority.

Conclusion: 

1: Rehabilitation of persons with disabilities is the prosperity of the country. And the solution to their problems is a matter of time. For this, the government as well as the society should play its role well. The Constitution of Pakistan gives equal rights to all citizens without any discrimination but people with disabilities in Pakistan face many problems in social, economic, and political life. Committees should be formed to address the basic problems of persons with disabilities.

2: Emergency measures need to be taken to ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities in public and private institutions, including ease of obtaining disability certificates and identity cards and ensuring implementation of quotas for persons with disabilities in employment.

3: This includes taking practical steps to bring legally disabled people into the political arena, including making it easier for people with disabilities to access public and private offices, airports, railway stations, and hospitals. Because people with disabilities are an important part of any society, and like other citizens have the right to live their lives well.

4: There is a need for this. That we make this pledge beyond race and caste, that rehabilitates special people, making them a special part of society. We will continue to play our full role in employing them. 

5: People with disabilities are an important part of society. The culture of deprivation must be eradicated! People with disabilities have the right to a better life, just like any other citizen. A think tank should be set up for the rehabilitation of the disabled and the disabled should be taken along.
