'Local Lib Dems are putting persons with disabilities at the heart of their policies for Medway'
International Day of Persons with Disabilities falls on the 3rd of December each year, with the aim of promoting empowerment, and helping to create real opportunities for people with disabilities. This enhances their own capacities and supports them in setting their own priorities. The theme this year is "Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world". As we mark the day, one billion people around the world live with a disability - that's roughly 15% of the global population.
