October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

This is a time to raise awareness and celebrate people with Down syndrome.

This year, we are speaking up about inclusion in organisations – why it is important and how we can make it happen.

We are Down Syndrome International, the global network of people with Down syndrome and their families.

We empower people with Down syndrome and their families to speak up for their human rights.
