January 4th is Braille
January 4th is Braille Day and aims to raise awareness about the importance of the Braille writing and reading system for people with visual impairments. The date was chosen in honor of the birth of Louis Braille, the inventor of the system, which, since the 19th century, has been fundamental to the inclusion of blind people in education and communication.
Braille, composed of a set of raised dots, allows visually impaired people to read and write, facilitating their full participation in society. The date aims to highlight the importance of accessibility and the fight for more rights and opportunities for people with visual impairments in various contexts of social life.
