June 14 is celebrated as the day for people with disabilities in Georgia, which reminds us to make efforts to protect the rights of people who are affected by any kind of physical or mental disability.
The day is also marked by many workshops, seminars, and other events to raise awareness about the rights of disabled people in many parts of the country. The day is a reminder for individuals to help the person with a disability and what measures can be taken to protect their interest in all fields.
It is the moral, social, and legal duty of the next of kin of people with disabilities to make their lives comfortable so that they can excel and realize their hidden potential. June 14 is celebrated as the national day of rights for people with disabilities. The government is making many efforts to uplift the standard of living of people with disabilities in Greece.
It is worth noting that despite the initiative by the Georgian government, there are still many issues associated with disabled persons that need immediate attention, especially legal matters. The disabled often find it challenging to access good education, health care, and other matters related to daily life.
It is to be added that the public defender for Georgia supervises the activities and other schemes for the welfare of disabled people across the different regions of the country. On the other hand, many non-governmental organisations are also working for the welfare of this most vulnerable section of society.
At the international level many organizations are working to make the lives of disabled people comfortable as well. They are recognized as people of an internationally vulnerable group. On the other hand the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres often said that persons with disabilities face a greater risk of violence and neglect especially in a pandemic like the coronavirus.
