Dr. Arif Alvi President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Message on the occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3rd December 2023)
Islamabad: 02, December 2023

Today we commemorate a day dedicated to honoring the inherent dignity and impactful contributions of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). The United Nations’ theme for this year's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, "United in Action to Rescue and Achieve the SDGs For, With, and By Persons with Disabilities," advocates for dedicating ourselves to building an inclusive society. Almost 15% of the world’s population suffers from some form of disability. Unfortunately, 80% of this population lives in developing countries, including Pakistan, where the population of PWDs is estimated to be almost 12%, an alarming figure. Today we acknowledge the exceptional strength and unwavering resilience of persons with disabilities who have progressed in life despite their disability. Pakistan remains committed to its mission to eliminate societal barriers that obstruct their journey to success. Our goal is to facilitate them to achieve their utmost potential through equitable access to opportunities in life. Together, we aim for progress, empowerment, and holistic support for Persons with Disabilities. This entails providing education, training, rehabilitation, and access to information and communication technologies, meeting the demands of the contemporary world. Through these initiatives, we strive to protect the sanctity of life for PWDs, cultivating a culture that values the inherent worth and capabilities of each individual. No one should be deprived of the opportunities to live a fulfilling life, receive proper care, and pursue economic prosperity irrespective of any disability. I urge government organizations and civil society to make special efforts for the inclusion of PWDs in all spheres of life. We need to create an enabling and friendly environment for PWDs by providing them inclusive education, healthcare facilities, employment based on their skills and abilities, and implementing job quotas. Media should also play its role in raising awareness about the rights and issues faced by PWDs and discouraging negative attitudes towards them. Together we can protect and promote the rights of Persons with Disabilities in the country.
