Join us to promote full inclusion on World Down Syndrome Day

In December 2011, the United Nations General Assembly declared 21 March World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD).

On this day, people with Down syndrome and those who live and work with them throughout the world organise and participate in activities and events to raise awareness. Together we create a single global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion, and well-being of people with Down syndrome.

Each year, the DSi Network chooses a campaign based on a human rights issue that we think needs urgent attention. 

For WDSD 2024, the DSi network calls for Health Equity for People with Disabilities.

The DSi network will support self-advocates worldwide to speak up about their experience. Together we take our campaign to the United Nations in New York for the 13th World Down Syndrome Day Conference. 

The DSi team is also responsible for the official WDSD website. Here we share global events and activities along with an annual message that we ask supporters around the world to share. For WDSD 2024, this message is End The Stereotypes.
