Superhuman Day

Superhuman Day is celebrated annually on September 7th. Have you ever considered how many people with disabilities are in society and what difficulties they face? That is why this holiday was added to the calendar.

History

When we talk about superhumans, we do not mean Marvel heroes, but ordinary men and women who have faced significant challenges in life. Through perseverance and diligence, they proved to the world that they deserve more; they deserve happiness. Superhuman Day was first celebrated in 2016 at the initiative of the media company Channel 4, which launched a unique campaign to draw attention to the participants of the 2016 Paralympic Games.

Interesting Facts

• Approximately 15% of the world’s population has disabilities, including 93 million children and 720 million adults.
• The causes of disability are not always accidents; they can also be hereditary.
• Unfortunately, only 30% of employers provide jobs for employees with disabilities.
• Among the ‘superhumans’, only 25% are employed.

How to join the celebration

Most ‘superhumans’ prefer to take care of themselves, but they need our care and attention. More importantly, they need to feel useful and recognized as full members of society. Spend a day with such a person. Let them forget about their problems and feel like a superhuman. Support the Paralympic Games and their participants, watch the competitions, and encourage your followers on social media to do the same.
