This year's theme is a call to duty for all, reminding us that ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป.

However, the world, communities, and schools aren't creating an enabling environment for children to hear, in order to make meaning out of what life wants to teach them.

Now come to think of that child/children:
1. Whose mother tongue is sign language

2. Whose feedback can be misunderstood because they speak differently

3. Whose emotions are signed

4. Whose privacy services needs a sign language interpreter

5.

Today serves as a reminder to society that disability doesn't discriminate, and it's often society that fails to see the abilities of individuals with special needs. We're all reminded that "๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜ in the ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด, ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด," emphasizing the importance of building a positive consciousness around disability. This awareness is crucial for achieving social progression.

As a society, we must recognize the need to create an inclusive environment that supports individuals with disabilities. This includes:

- Families
- Schools
- Workplaces
- Churches
- Communities

Let's build a society that sees beyond disabilities and empowers individuals to thrive
