World Down Syndrome Day 2025: Improve Our Support Systems

March 21, 2025 Sara Hartery

Everyone needs support sometimes.

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.

What needs to improve?

Many people with Down syndrome around the world don’t get the support they need. Many countries do not have support systems that meet the needs of people with disabilities and their families. Or the support systems they have do not respect the human rights of people with disabilities. Governments must make sure there is a support system, so people with disabilities are included in the community. Click the link below to read more about what a good support system should include. Together we will create a single global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.
