As the world prepares to celebrate “World Braille Day” on 4 January, a global commemoration is underway to acknowledge the significance of Braille as a vital medium of communication for blind and partially sighted individuals. This day holds special importance as it marks the birthday of Louis Braille, the visionary inventor of the Braille script, born in France in 1809. Recognizing the paramount role of Braille in education, communication, and social inclusion, the United Nations has designated 4 January each year as World Braille Day. The theme for 2024, “Empowering Through Inclusion and Diversity,” underscores the commitment to creating a world where individuals with visual impairments are not only recognized but fully included in all aspects of society.
