World Braille Day 2024

Lodged by Jeremy Balfour Standard Motion 35 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises World Braille Day on 4 January 2024; understands that this day raises awareness about the importance of Braille and celebrates the legacy of Louis Braille; recognises that, in 2018, the United Nations General Assembly decided to make it an official observance; understands that World Braille Day promotes awareness of the importance of accessibility and inclusion in education and information in the digital age; believes that much can be done for people who have a visual impairment, and commends all of the advocacy that those celebrating World Braille Day do to promote Braille literacy and inclusion for people with visual impairments.
