On World Autism Awareness Day, we celebrate the contributions of persons with autism and renew our resolve to advance their inherent rights.
值此世界提高对自闭症认识日之际,我们赞颂自闭症患者的贡献,并重申决心促进他们的固有权利。
Despite important progress, persons with autism continue to face social and environmental barriers to the full exercise of their rights and fundamental freedoms, in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
自闭症患者在根据《残疾人权利公约》和《2030年可持续发展议程》充分行使权利和基本自由方面尽管取得了重要进展,但仍继续面临社会和环境障碍。
We must do better – by promoting inclusive education, equal employment opportunities, self-determination, and an environment where every person is respected. And as we do so, we also recognize the role of families, caregivers, and support networks in the lives of persons with autism.
我们必须做得更好,为此应促进全纳教育,推动平等就业机会,倡导自决,营造人人受到尊重的环境。在此过程中,我们也认识到家庭、照料者和支持网络在自闭症患者生活中发挥的作用。
Today and every day, let us fully recognize the active and diverse contributions of persons with autism to our societies – and let us work together with persons with autism to build an inclusive and accessible world for all.
今天,以及每一天,让我们充分认可自闭症患者为我们社会作出的多种多样的积极贡献,让我们与自闭症患者共同努力,为所有人构建包容而无障碍的世界。
