October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate people with Down syndrome and advocate for their rights. This year, we’re focusing on a critical issue that affects the lives of millions: health equity.
Our new Self-Advocacy Network Group is a vital step toward giving people with Down syndrome a stronger, more influential voice on a global scale.
At Down Syndrome International, we believe in the power of lived experience. That’s why our Ambassador Committee is so important to us.
Our training looks at how self-advocacy helps people with Down syndrome live better lives by giving them the confidence to speak up, make decisions, and take part in their communities.
We share what people with intellectual disabilities and their supporters say about health access around the world.
From 20 to 22 March 2025, advocates gathered in Geneva to mark World Down Syndrome Day at the United Nations.
A big step towards including people with intellectual disabilities in programming by the UN and beyond.
