2026-01-04
World Braille Day, introduced by the UN in 2019, draws attention to the importance of Braille for people with visual impairments and aims to raise awareness of its significance.
World Braille Day is an international day that celebrates awareness of the importance of braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and visually impaired people. The date for the event was chosen by the United Nations General Assembly, and marks the birthday of Louis Braille, creator of this writing system.
