Participants take part in a rally organized in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 3, 2025, to observe the 34th International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Observed annually on December 3 since 1992 at the initiative of the United Nations, the day aims to promote the rights of persons with disabilities worldwide. This year's national slogan is ''Promoting a Disability-Inclusive Society: Enhancing Social Progress.'' The day serves as a reminder of the global commitment to ensuring the rights, equality, inclusion, and dignity of persons with disabilities. There is a growing need to create disability-friendly physical infrastructure and environments, such as accessible offices, schools, public vehicles, roads, parks, monasteries, temples, and other public and private buildings, to better address the needs of persons with disabilities. While the Constitution of Nepal guarantees the right of persons with disabilities to live with dignity, self-respect, and equal access to public services and facilities, advocates continue to call for more effective implementation of these provisions in practice.
