The white cane is one of the most important mobility aids for visually impaired people. Through it, they can identify obstacles on the path and receive assistance in moving safely. At the same time, the white cane is also considered a symbol of the identity and independent mobility of visually impaired people.
The main goal of the day is to raise public awareness to protect the rights of visually impaired people, ensure social inclusion, and ensure their equal participation in education, employment, and public life.
To make movement safe for visually impaired people, it is essential to keep footpaths free from encroachment, ensure necessary facilities for crossing roads, and make public transport and government establishments disability-friendly.
According to concerned persons, to build a safe and dignified environment for visually impaired people, along with government and non-government initiatives, cooperation from people at all levels of society is needed.
