On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December 2020, on behalf of UNESCO’s Director-General Audrey Azoulay, Xing Qu, Deputy Director-General of UNESCO, shares a message of support for persons with disabilities around the world. UNESCO calls upon all stakeholders to take measures – with the meaningful consultation and active participation of persons with disabilities and organizations active in this area - to ensure that the COVID-19 response fully reflects the needs of persons with disabilities, as many of them are disproportionately affected by the health, social and economic consequences of the global crisis.
