The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, reiterated this Thursday the commitment of the National Executive to guarantee equal opportunities for people with Down Syndrome.
“On World Down Syndrome Day, we join the international campaign of social awareness and solidarity with people with this condition and we advocate for their right to be recognized, respected, included and treated with dignity,” said the head of state through his account on the social network X.
The General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), in December 2011, designated March 21 as World Down Syndrome Day, to generate greater public awareness of this condition and to remember the inherent dignity and valuable contributions of people with intellectual disabilities as promoters of the well-being and diversity of their communities.
The UN also urges us to highlight the importance of individual autonomy and independence of people with Down Syndrome, in particular the freedom to make their own decisions.
