Why International Day Of Acceptance?

The acceptance movement encourages people to look beyond their limitations to cherish life and welcome variation. Friends, show the world that you are proud of your identity as a person with social rights, an opinion, hobbies, goals, and a love of life. You have the power to alter the world and to be heard in society. You are living, not being disabled.

The day is commemorated on January 20 to encourage social acceptance of disabilities and to honour the late Annie Hopkins, the creator of 3E Love and designer of the International Symbol of Acceptance.

On this day, it is vital to commemorate the Hopkins siblings’ contributions. Today’s mission is to keep her vision and the 3E Love moment alive.

It motivates us to love and appreciate people for who they are rather than their limitations and to accept them for who they are.

Hopkin’s International Day of Acceptance aims to change people’s attitudes and perceptions of individuals with disabilities, hence this day is significant.

History of International Day Of Acceptance:

3E Love was created in 2007 by Annie Hopkins and her brother Stevie. Annie and her brother were both crippled. 3E Love wanted to spread the message, “Embrace diversity.” Educate your community. Help each other out. Have fun with your life. As a universal symbol of inclusiveness, she designed a logo with a wheelchair and a heart. Annie died on January 20, 2009, far too young.

The annual Day of Acceptance was established to raise awareness about the need for societal inclusion and social acceptance for people who have visible or invisible disabilities. Whether or not a person has a disability, they are still a human being.

On this day, individuals with disabilities from all over the world gather to share their stories. Allies can participate in a discussion about the value of social acceptance by initiating one. The twentieth of January serves as a reminder for all of us to work together to make the world more inclusive. We may all contribute to the development of society.
