The International Day of the Blind, observed on 13th November, is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by people who are blind or visually impaired. This day promotes accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunities for the blind community. It encourages the public to support initiatives that provide education, technology, and resources to improve the quality of life for visually impaired individuals.

Blindness and visual impairments can significantly impact daily life, limiting access to education, employment, and social participation. The International Day of the Blind aims to break down these barriers by advocating for the rights of visually impaired individuals and promoting the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers, Braille, and audio descriptions.

Organisations, schools, and communities across the globe participate in awareness events, fundraisers, and educational programs to highlight the importance of inclusivity. By increasing understanding and fostering a more accessible society, the International Day of the Blind seeks to empower those living with visual impairments and encourage broader societal support.
