World Braille Day acknowledges that those with visual impairments deserve the same standard of human rights as everyone else. It supports inclusivity and accessibility and serves as a reminder of the importance of independence for blind people.

World Braille Day honors Louis Braille, the visionary creator of the tactile writing system for the visually impaired, who illuminated a path to literacy through his ingenious six-dot code.
