Reading and writing skills are crucial to one's development, but those who are blind or visually impaired have some challenges with these skills. World Braille Day aims to narrow the communication gap between people with normal sight and those who are blind or partially sighted by raising awareness of the importance of Braille as a communication tool. We want everyone to be aware of how Braille helps people who are blind or visually impaired fully realise their human rights. We also acknowledge the contributions made by French educator Louis Braille to the development of the Braille system.
With the use of raised dots that can be interpreted with the fingers, Braille provides a tactile representation of alphabetic and numeric symbols. Millions of blind or visually impaired persons now can read and write, considerably enhancing their independence and capacity to engage in society.
