DFI’s Make Way Day (MWD) Campaign 2024
August 28 2024, 04:20pm
Date: Friday 27th September 2024 – All day!
Make Way Day is an annual campaign from the Disability Federation of Ireland. On that day we ask people to make way on our streets for people with disabilities and we raise public awareness about the problems caused by obstacles blocking footpaths.
The backbone of this campaign are people with disabilities and they will be out and about on the day with disability groups and local organisations reminding the public to make way for people with disabilities. This will include taking photos of obstacles and sharing them on social media to highlight the issue.
Disability groups and organisations will be using #MakeWayDay24 to once again highlight obstacles such as:
- Cars or vans parked on a footpath blocking the way;
- Bicycles/motorbikes chained to lamp posts creating a trip hazard for a visually impaired person;
- Illegally placed sandwich boards, forgotten bins, barrels and other obstructions.
