World Down Syndrome Day
World Down Syndrome Day was created to celebrate the lives of people with Down syndrome and to make sure they have the same freedoms and opportunities as everybody else.

21st March (21/3) matches the 3 copies of chromosome 21. This is unique to people with Down syndrome.

World Down Syndrome Day has been an official part of the United Nations calendar since 2012.

The theme for this year is 'Together Against Loneliness'.
