One of the visible and hidden phenomena in human life is the issue of disability. According to the report of the World Health Organization, 15% of the world’s population suffers from some kind of disability, including all types of disabilities and disorders. Diseases, natural disasters and environmental accidents, the aging of the world’s population and the problems caused by modern life have fueled the diversity, multiplicity and complexity of disabilities and disorders.

In order to prevent, predict and take appropriate measures in societies, there is a need to create culture and create awareness at the global level.

This global estimate for disability is on the rise due to population ageing and the rapid spread of chronic diseases , as well as , improvements in the methodologies used to measure disability . So people with disabilities are the largest minority in the world . In this case awareness is very important to increasing the knowledge of people to improving the quality of their life . In recent decades , with the Invitation of International Organizations , a global movement has been formed to raise awareness and make available the possibilities of life and create equal opportunities for people with disabilities .
