1.2 million accessible books 📚 For 10 years, WIPO's Marrakesh Treaty has helped make books available to people who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled. For readers like 17-year-old Le Duc Minh, it means more independence and opportunity. 🔗ow.ly/9RpX50ZT09y

Grateful to PR Amb Asim for his guidance, support and for the opportunity to lead the process. Assistive technology transformed my life and I hope this resolution helps make that transformation possible for millions around the world, leaving no one behind.

Proud that this landmark UNGA resolution on Access to Assistive Technology, adopted today, was drafted and negotiated by Counsellor Ms. Saima Saleem, Pakistan’s first visually impaired career diplomat, who is herself a user of this technology. This is a powerful reminder that when lived experience informs diplomacy, it can help shape global action that transforms lives and expands opportunities for millions of people who might otherwise risk being left behind. Together, we can bring about meaningful change and improve lives. 🇵🇰🇺🇳

As we mark #WorldATDay, we reaffirm that access to Assistive Technology (AT) is a right, not a privilege. No one should be excluded from education, employment, or participation in society because they lack the assistive products they need. @Unlock_Everyday #UnlockTheEveryday @_ATscale @LabourSPKE @EduMinKenya @MOH_Kenya @Ncpwds @CHAI_health

Captions on this video may help many of us follow it better. For others, they may be what makes the video accessible at all. That is the everyday reality of assistive technology: often simple, familiar, and easy to overlook, but powerful enough to decide who is included and who is left out. On World Day for Assistive Technology, NCPEDP reiterates that assistive technology is essential to access, independence, and equal participation. When it is available, affordable, and shaped by persons with disabilities, it does more than support access. It "Unlocks the Everyday"! @Mphasis @_ATscale @Unlock_Everyday @GDIHub @MSJEGOI @socialpwds @armanaly #WorldATDay #UnlockTheEveryday #MeAndMyAT #AssistiveTechnology #Accessibility #DisabilityRights #NCPEDP
