Worldwide, 2 billion people - or 37.5% of the world’s population - live with disabilities.

Approximately 1.3 billion people are affected by some form of blindness or visual impairment, 466 million have disabling and hearing loss, and 200 million have intellectual disabilities and 75 million need a wheelchair daily.
