Over 1 billion people live with a disability worldwide. On #IDPD, we highlight the role of volunteers who support access, participation and inclusion so everyone has a fair chance to use services and opportunities. #Inclusion #UNVolunteers #DiversityMosaic

Sometimes all we need is to be there for one another. To simply show up. To be human 💙 In two days, on International #VolunteerDay, we open #VolunteerYear grounded in one message: every volunteer and #EveryContributionMatters.

Each year, UNV aims higher to ensure volunteering is disability inclusive. In 2024, 270+ UN Volunteers with disabilities served with 26 @UN partners, a 41% increase from the year before. This year, that number stands at 300+. @UN for all must reflect all.
