Every year on March 21, we observe World Down Syndrome Day. This year's theme, "Improve Our Support Systems," emphasizes the importance of enhancing support for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. Effective support systems are crucial for enabling people with Down syndrome to lead fulfilling lives within their communities. These systems should encompass governance, social protection, human support, assistive technology, accessible transportation and affordable housing. Join us in advocating for better support systems that promote choice, control and dignity for all.
