World Down Syndrome Day is on March 21. On this day, people with Down Syndrome and those who live and work with them throughout the world organize and participate in activities and events to raise public awareness and create a single global voice for advocating for the rights, inclusion and wellbeing of the people with Down Syndrome.
21st March is selected for very clever reasons, it is held on the 21st day of the third month, which is a hat-tip to the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down Syndrome.
You can support by wearing odd colour socks which carry †Down Syndrome†in their message.
Down Syndrome affects about 1 in 800 births worldwide, causing intellectual disability and associated medical issues.
Activities that take place on March 21 showcase the abilities and accomplishment of people with Down Syndrome.
This year the global theme is †Leave no one behindâ€. All people with Down Syndrome must have opportunities to live fulfilling lives, included on a full and equal basis with others, in all aspects of society.
