It’s IDPWD 2025!
Each year on 3 December, the world comes together to recognise the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (#IDPWD) — a global moment dedicated to awareness, empowerment and inclusion. For blind and low-vision readers, one of the most powerful forms of inclusion is access: access to stories, to information, and to communities that understand and support their reading experience.
At RealSAM, accessibility isn’t an add-on — it’s the heart of everything we do. That’s why the RealSAM BookClub exists: to bring blind and visually impaired readers together through accessible literature, curated monthly selections and simple, voice-activated reading.
This #IDPWD, we’re celebrating the joy of reading without barriers.
🌍 Why the International Day of Persons with Disabilities Matters #IDPWD2025
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities, supported by the United Nations, promotes:
- Equal access to information and digital experiences
- Inclusive technology that removes barriers
- Representation of disabled people in culture and media
- Community spaces where everyone can participate fully
For blind and partially sighted readers, access to books is a key part of inclusion. Traditional printed books often present barriers — but accessible formats, audiobooks and intuitive technology make reading possible for everyone.
📖 RealSAM BookClub: Accessible Reading that Empowers
RealSAM BookClub is designed specifically for blind and low-vision readers, providing:
✔ Accessible audiobook versions of every monthly title

✨ How Accessible Reading Supports Disability Inclusion
Accessible reading isn’t just about books — it’s about:
- Confidence, by removing reading barriers
- Connection, through shared stories
- Community, by meeting others who read like you
- Independence, through voice-controlled technology
- Empowerment, by accessing literature in your preferred format
