May 5th. Day of Fighting Discrimination Against People with Disabilities.

Every year on May 5th, we celebrate the European Day of Fighting Discrimination Against People with Disabilities. In Poland, it is also the Day of Dignity of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities. The celebrations were initiated in France in the early 1990s. The main slogan of the first celebrations was Rendez-vous de la Dignité ("Meeting with Dignity"). It is a unique opportunity to show that everyone has equal rights to active participation in social, family, and professional life. Barriers and limitations that hinder people with various disabilities from functioning freely are not a result of their disabilities, but a challenge to constantly change the reality around us. The holiday is also an opportunity to express opposition to discrimination against people with disabilities at work, in offices, and in everyday life.
