Abstract
Today, 3 December 2020, is International Day of Persons with Disabilities around the world. It also marks the conclusion of South Africa???s Disability Rights Awareness Month (DRAM). From the 3 November to 3 December every year we have a month-long commemoration of disability rights and the diversity of all persons with disabilities. This is the annual highpoint of the disability rights movements in South Africa whereby the government gets involved more deeply with the sector. Business and disability support organisations collaborate to raise funds specifically for vulnerable persons with disabilities so as to improve their circumstances. Today also marks Casual Day, led by the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities.-
