1.The International Day of Persons with Disabilities will take place on Thursday, 3 December. In connection with this important matter, the UN Staff Union – NY prepared a global virtual event that highlights what we the staff are doing for persons with disabilities all around the world. We are grateful that many of you answered our call so, we will travel globally and meet with colleagues who will share their stories with us. The theme of our event is ‘Inside and Beyond the Walls of the UNHQs’ and will capture four themes: Workplace, Challenge, Leaving No One Behind and Awareness.

Our event will take place on Thursday, 3 December from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. (EST). Please watch our short trailer of the event and  click here to join the event .
