On February 27, 1992, the National Day of Blind People was approved by legislative decree, this decree being an achievement in favor of the rights of said population. The date (March 1) makes a direct reference to the creation of the first school for the blind in El Salvador, inaugurated in 1943 and founded by Fausto Aguilar Peñate, because from that moment a whole process of inclusion, education and struggle for blind people began.
The primary objective of this date is to create awareness in the general population about the social, cultural and labor barriers faced by Blind People, from the lack of adequate infrastructure, obstacles on sidewalks and pedestrian areas, unawareness and lack of sensitivity on the part of of public transport drivers, among others, not to mention discrimination in the labor and academic spheres.
