The theme for the 2021 International Day of People with Disabilities is “Fighting for rights in the post-covid era”, something LSHTM knows a lot about.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 3rd of December is International Day of People with Disabilities, it originated back in 1992 by the United Nations, as a day of celebration for anyone living with disabilities. It is an international day of awareness, to highlight in the inequalities, marginalisation and the lack of accessibilities people face on a day to day basis. It is a day to highlight the actions and behaviours we should be taking every day, in order to make a more caring and respectful community.<\/p>\n

To highlight The International Day of People with Disabilities, the library will have a display for the month ahead, showcasing a selection of books from the collection which focus on people living with disabilities, the rights, the challenges and the change.<\/p>\n
