December 3 is marked as the International Day of Persons with Special Needs. This day is especially focused on the needs and problems that people with special needs have and face. But as many associations, non-governmental organizations, alliances for disabled people say - it is not enough to pay attention to these people and their rights for equality with others. It should be every day, to be a part of human society. These people mostly seek equality, independent living and functioning in society.
The term special needs can mean many different conditions: from mild learning difficulties, severe intellectual difficulties, psychiatric disorders, chronic diseases, etc.
According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one billion people in the world live with some kind of disability. This corresponds to about 15% of the world's population.
