World Braille Day is celebrated on the 4th of January every year to honour Louis Braille, the inventor of the Braille system. This day raises awareness about the importance of Braille in enabling equal access to information and opportunities for people who are blind. It is an important day that highlights how Braille empowers blind and visually impaired people to read and write.
Access to Braille is not just a tool for literacy but a fundamental human right that ensures independence and dignity.
Disability rights in our society have not yet made ample progress. To support all people with disabilities, we must strongly advocate for braille initiatives and promote inclusive education so that it may open the gateways for further inclusive policies.
