Día Mundial del Síndrome de Down

Día Mundial del Síndrome de Down, or World Down Syndrome Day, is an international awareness day observed on March 21 each year. The date is significant as it reflects the triplication of the 21st chromosome, which is a characteristic of Down syndrome. The day aims to promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome, as well as to highlight their rights and contributions to society. Various activities, campaigns, and events are organized worldwide to raise awareness about Down syndrome, educate the public, and advocate for the dignity and well-being of individuals affected by this genetic condition.
