About
The Purple Night Romania (PNR) campaign is a call to action developed by the Romanian Diversity Chamber of Commerce each year and dedicated to celebrating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The event, taking place on December 3rd, consists of supporting companies, authorities, and other entities lighting the outside of their buildings in purple, in order to send a strong message of support and awareness for the inclusion of almost 1 million people with disabilities living in Romania.
The Purple Night Romania initiative has become strongly supported by the private and public sectors, by the media and by citizens overall, with a growing interest from one year to another, as society becomes more and more aware of the disadvantages that the disabled are still facing, due to economic and social exclusion, unequal opportunities, lack of access to job offers, lack of proper mobility and accessibility in general to everyday life.
