New York, 3 December 2010 - The theme of this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities is “Keeping the promise: mainstreaming disability in the Millennium Development Goals”.

Among the promises made by world leaders at the MDG Summit in September was a commitment to improve the lives of persons with disabilities.

This diverse group includes people close to us – family, friends and neighbours. Indeed, physical, mental and sensory impairments are very common, affecting about 10 per cent of the world’s population.
