WeThe15

#WeThe15 is a global human rights movement which aims to make persons with disabilities, who make up 15% of the world's population (1.2 billion people), visible. An initiative of the International Paralympic Committee and the International Disability Alliance,[1][2] it is supported, by a number of organisations from the world of disability sports, disability rights, non-governmental and governmental organisations. It was launched as part of the 2020 Summer Paralympics in 2021.[3] Landmarks across the world were lit up in purple to coincide with the opening ceremony.[4] The movement was given particular focus during the closing ceremony.[5][6]

A TV campaign in August 2021[7] showcased people with disabilities, not just as "special", or "inspiring", but as normal people—with the same challenges as non-disabled people—who must not be ignored, but included.[8]
