World Down Syndrome Day 2023

World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) , 21 March, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

To attract the attention of society and express tolerance and support for people with Down syndrome, people are urged to wear bright, odd socks or only one as a symbol of an additional chromosome on this day. Such a flash mob was called "Lots of socks"
