New IPC Campaign We The 15
On August 19, just five days before the opening of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced the launch of We The 15, a new campaign to protect the human rights of people with disabilities, which is about 15% of the world's population, or 1.2 billion. Through long-term activities over the next 10 years, we aim to cooperate with multiple international organizations to promote people's consciousness and social change through sports, and to realize a "symbiotic society" that is also the philosophy of the Tokyo Games. To commemorate this, major landmarks in Japan and abroad, including the Tokyo Sky Tree, were lit up in purple, which is the symbol color of disabled people. (upper left image) On the 21st, we will send an ale to athletes participating in the Tokyo Games, and to deliver the feelings of the Tokyo Games to people all over the world who support the athletes feel the excitement and excitement of the Tokyo Games.·Blue·Lighting inspired by the Paralympic symbol "Three Agitos", which consists of three green curves, has been lit.
