World Braille Day
An international day promoting awareness of the importance of Braille in achieving literacy and inclusion for people with vision impairment.
World Braille Day is observed globally on January 4 to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication for people who are blind or partially sighted. The date commemorates the birthday of Louis Braille, who invented the tactile writing system in 1824. UNESCO proclaimed this international observance to promote literacy, accessibility, and inclusion for individuals with visual impairments. Events include educational workshops, library exhibitions, and community outreach programs. The day serves to highlight ongoing challenges and advocate for equal opportunities in education and employment.
