On 25 June 2024, the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay approved in plenary session a declaration calling for
The International Day of Deafblindness to be declared Day of National Interest
Government and private organisations to take action to support, recognise and make visible people with deafblindness in recognition of deafblindness as a unique condition with specific characteristics and needs
Sending the declaration to the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare, the Ministry of Education and Science, the National Secretariat for Human Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the National Institute of Statistics.
Indeed a wonderful step forward for the birthday of Helen Keller and a wonderful outcome of DbI’s Interministerial Meeting in Córdoba, Argentina, in which Paraguay was very actively represented. Let’s celebrate!
