White Cane Safety Day is observed annually on 15 October.
It’s a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of the white cane as a symbol of independence and mobility for individuals who are blind or vision impaired. This day also emphasises the need for pedestrian safety and respect for the rights of people with visual disabilities.
White Cane Safety Day serves as an opportunity to educate the public about the challenges faced by individuals with vision impairments and to promote inclusion and accessibility in society.
