The endeavor of individuals with disabilities to demonstrate their capabilities

Disabled individuals in Balkh organized sporting events to commemorate December 3rd, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Cricket, wheelchair, basketball, futsal, weightlifting, running, and archery teams of individuals with disabilities put on athletic displays, advocating for equal participation alongside their fellow citizens in society.

They have accused the country’s Paralympic Committee of failing to provide support for individuals with disabilities, stating that with adequate financial backing, these athletes could showcase their abilities across various fields and represent Afghanistan in regional and global competitions, bringing home medals.

During the previous system, women with disabilities actively participated in sporting events; however, with the Taliban’s return to power, restrictions on education, employment, and sports have adversely affected these citizens.

In 1992, the United Nations designated December 3rd as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, every year, this day is commemorated in various forms across different countries.
