It is important to emphasize that this world celebration, which is carried out on December 3 of every year, takes as a principal target to inform the world population about the most important topics associated with the topic of the disability. According to the official web site of the WHO, in the frame of this celebration a lot of information about the different disabilities is offered as this way also one looks for support to dignify the persons who must live together with them.
Since one is speaking about the WHO, it would be important to publish the official numbers that the international sanitary organism handles in the relation to the persons with disabilities.
In his web site, they informs that approximately 650 millions of persons endure some type of disability and must coexist with her and he added that 80 % of them lives in countries of low income.
