Every year on March 21, families with members disabled with down syndrome gather for large group events to bring awareness to the condition. The day hopes to remove the stigma associated globally with down syndrome. By helping people understand that there is nothing scary about it, inclusion techniques can be used efficiently treating it.
In 2012 the Secretary-General of the United Nations released a statement reaffirming that those who have down syndrome are not lesser citizens of the world. They have every right to freedom and participation as global citizens.
