World Braille Day. Standards for promoting a fairer and more inclusive society

Every year on January 4, the global community celebrates World Braille Day, a tribute to its inventor, Louis Braille. This revolutionary tactile reading and writing system has been a beacon of light for the visually impaired, giving them an efficient way to communicate and access information.

World Braille Day is an opportunity to highlight the importance of Braille and Braille standards. These standards ensure the accessibility, safety and inclusion of visually impaired people, helping to improve their quality of life and promote a fairer and more inclusive society.

The standards for writing Braille on the packaging intended for medicines, the application of Braille signs on indicators, equipment and devices, etc. can be purchased from the online store of the Institute for Standardization of Moldova – https://shop.standard.md/ro/search_standards?query=brail
