The International Paralympic Committee (IPC)

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the global organization responsible for overseeing the Paralympic Movement, which promotes sports for athletes with disabilities. It establishes rules, coordinates international competitions, and works with national and regional organizations to organize the Paralympic Games—major international events held every four years alongside the Olympics. The IPC also advocates for accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunities for athletes with various disabilities, aiming to inspire and challenge perceptions about disability through elite athletic performance.
