Today, 3 December, we mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. 💙
A day to recognise dignity, rights and inclusion — and to remember that disability is not about limitation, but about society’s responsibility to remove barriers.
Together, we keep working for better access, better rehabilitation, and better opportunities for all. ✨

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we share an important reflection from Prof. Jorge Lains, ISPRM President 2016–2018 💙🌍

More than 15% of the world’s population lives with a disability. Prof. Lains reminds us that every person has the same dignity, the same rights, and deserves the opportunity to live with joy, participation, and inclusion.

In his rehab center in Portugal, a wheelchair handball team competes in the national league 🏆♿. Their passion inspires not only the athletes, but also the patients who watch them train and discover new possibilities for themselves.

Today we celebrate—but we also recommit to building a world where everyone can live fully.
