Call to Join Purple Night Romania 2024 – Celebrating and supporting persons with disabilities
<h3>The&nbsp;Romanian Diversity Chamber of&nbsp;Commerce (RDCC)&nbsp;is organising the&nbsp;fifth edition of Purple Night Romania, an impactful awareness campaign held annually on&nbsp;December 3rd&nbsp;to honour the&nbsp;International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This meaningful initiative calls on private organisations, public institutions, NGOs, and individuals to illuminate their buildings, offices, and public spaces in purple as a visible expression of solidarity with the nearly one million people living with visible and invisible disabilities in Romania.</h3>

<h3>Building on Last Year’s Success</h3>

<p>In 2023,&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.rdcc.ro/purple-night-romania/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1732177842890000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1RO2iRx9rDdaU27Dh2OUna" href="https://www.rdcc.ro/purple-night-romania/" target="_blank">Purple Night Romania</a>&nbsp;demonstrated remarkable participation, with four municipalities, two embassies, one ministry, and 31 corporations collectively lighting up 48 landmarks across the country. This wave of support underscored a commitment to fostering a more accessible and inclusive environment for all.</p>

<h3>A Broader Call for Participation in 2024</h3>

<p>This year's campaign aims for an even wider reach and deeper impact. The&nbsp;RDCC&nbsp;invites municipalities, companies, and individuals from across Romania to take part in&nbsp;<strong>Purple Night Romania 2024</strong>&nbsp;by illuminating the exterior of their offices/buildings in purple or adopting creative interior displays such as purple-themed decorations, attire, or digital visuals. These efforts, especially recommended for November 29th, the final working day of the month, will amplify the movement's call for inclusivity.</p>

<p>“Purple Night Romania is a powerful symbol of the change we need to see in our country - a Romania where everyone, regardless of ability, is valued and empowered. By lighting up our spaces in purple, we shine a light on the barriers that still exist and the steps we must take to break them down,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;<strong>Lestat Monroe, founder and Board Member of the Romanian Diversity Chamber of Commerce.</strong></p>

<h3>Why Join?</h3>

<p>Participation in Purple Night Romania provides a platform to champion the rights and contributions of the disabled community while raising awareness about the barriers they face. By coming together under a common colour and cause, supporters help pave the way toward a more inclusive society.</p>
