Paralympic Movement

The Paralympic Movement is an international sports initiative for athletes with disabilities, promoting inclusion and equality through competition. It began in the aftermath of World War II to support veterans with injuries and has since grown to encompass a wide range of disabilities. The Paralympics are held every four years, alongside the Olympic Games, showcasing athletes' abilities and inspiring millions. The movement emphasizes not just athletic achievement but also social change, raising awareness about disability rights and encouraging accessibility in society. It seeks to empower athletes, fostering a new perspective on what individuals with disabilities can achieve.
