December is packed with notable events related to DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). December 3 marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a day to promote the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities. December 10 is Human Rights Day, celebrating and advocating for the fundamental rights of all people. Take this month as an opportunity to reflect on disability rights and human rights. By recognizing our differences, we can take small but meaningful steps toward building a truly inclusive society.
