On March 21, the worldwide Down syndrome community will join together to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day and call on governments to “Improve Our Support Systems.”

People with Down syndrome need support to live and be included in the community, like everyone else. Families also need support, as they are often supporting their family member with Down syndrome. Support is a key human right that helps make other rights possible.

The support that we need is different for each person. We have the right to support that meets our needs and gives us choice, control and dignity.

There are many ways you can join us in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day and spreading this important message. Explore for more!
