theme for 2015 was “Inclusion matters: access and empowerment for people of all abilities”, which aimed at ensuring that people with disabilities are empowered to create and use opportunity. At this event, thousands of bright orange wristbands with "Inclusion Matters" written on them were sent out to organisations throughout New Zealand for the day of celebration and acknowledgement. The government of New Zealand believes that by wearing the wristband, "you are calling for the inclusion of disabled people into all areas of life."
