每年12月3日為「國際身心障礙者日」
於1992年由聯合國通過
藉由今天喚起大家對於身心障礙者的關心及了解
並宣導身心障礙者的權益和措施
讓身心障礙者能擁有實質平等的人權
世界衛生組織的東南亞辦公室表示
東南亞地區約有16%人口為中度或重度的身心障礙
其中2.9%是重度障礙
身心障礙比例是全球第二
身心障礙包含心理障礙、精神障礙、智能障礙、聽力障礙等
不一定能一眼看穿
因此更需要大家的關懷
今年的「國際身心障礙者日」
主題是「追求夢寐的未來，達成17個目標」
（Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want）
記述世界衛生組織的2016年17項永續發展的目標
（17 Sustainable Development Goals）
幫助身心障礙者建立更包容、更平等的世界。
