–Launch Ceremony in Brussels Preceded by Royal Audience–

TOKYO, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2026 Global Appeal to End Stigma and Discrimination Against Persons Affected by Leprosy was launched in Brussels, Belgium on January 29 at an event co-hosted by Education International and the Sasakawa Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) Initiative, in partnership with the Damien Foundation.

Now in its 21^st year, the Global Appeal is an annual call to action aiming to mobilize different sectors of society to sign a collective pledge to eliminate the social barriers surrounding leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease. With the participation of Education International, the global voice of teachers and education workers, this year’s appeal emphasized the transformative power of education in dispelling myths, reducing prejudice, and promoting inclusion.

On the morning of the event, a delegation of persons affected by leprosy from Brazil, India, and Indonesia participated in a roundtable audience with Her Majesty Queen Mathilde of the Belgians at the Royal Palace in Brussels. At the launch ceremony, Dr. Jean-Pierre Baron Schenkelaars, former President of the Damien Foundation, read out a message from the Queen: “I warmly welcome the Global Appeal 2026, which unites key actors around dignity, inclusion, and the fight against leprosy-related stigma. By linking health, education, and equality, this Global Appeal reflects the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals and deserves my full support.”

About 80 participants attended the launch event at The Merode, which brought together persons affected by leprosy, educators, policymakers, health professionals, and civil society representatives to reaffirm a shared commitment to dignity, inclusion, and the principle of leaving no one behind.

Dr. Mugwena Maluleke, President of Education International, said, “Education International, representing over 33 million teachers and education support personnel worldwide, reaffirms its commitment to ending stigma and discrimination—including against persons affected by leprosy—through inclusive education, teacher empowerment, and the promotion of human rights and dignity for all learners.”

Mr. Takashi Kajiwara, Vice President of Education International and President of the Japan Teachers’ Union, emphasized that education empowers children to understand invisible threats, break prejudice, and grow up with zero tolerance for discrimination.

The ceremony featured several video messages, including one from Dr. Beatriz Miranda, UN Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members. She noted that, although leprosy is curable, discrimination against those affected by the disease persists. “Ending discrimination is a matter of justice, essential for ensuring rights, social inclusion, and peace,” she said.

Another message was from Ms. Stefania Giannini, Assistant Director-General for Education at UNESCO, who said that education is one of the most powerful tools to advance dignity, equality, and social justice. “When teachers are supported and empowered, education becomes a transformative force that challenges fear and misinformation, promotes inclusion and solidarity, and ensures that no learner is left behind,” she said.

Ms. Maguette Ndiaye, Chair of the Oversight Committee of the 3rd Global Forum of People’s Organizations on Hansen’s Disease, spoke on behalf persons affected by the disease. She noted that although leprosy is curable, those who have experienced the disease continue to face stigma and discrimination. “Leprosy does not define a person,” she said, calling for awareness based on accurate information, the elimination of discrimination, and the protection of human rights, as well as collective efforts toward building an inclusive society.

Ms. Pascale Barnich, General Manager, the Damien Foundation, emphasized that “the elimination of leprosy is within reach. To achieve this, we must continue to support research in order to improve diagnosis, strengthen health systems, pursue poverty-reduction programs, and fight judgement and false beliefs that fuel stigma. Education, both here and elsewhere, is key: it can either reinforce exclusion or help build societies where differences are a strength and a force for a fairer world.”

Mr. Yohei Sasakawa, WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, drawing on decades of field visits, emphasized the importance of access to education and the awareness that education brings. He said it was necessary to ensure that children and families affected by leprosy can attend school without barriers, and that communities, teachers, and students are equipped with accurate knowledge to dispel myths and prevent discrimination. “Education is essential to breaking the cycle of poverty and stigma, empowering affected individuals, and building inclusive societies,” he said.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Global Appeal 2026 declaration was read aloud by Ms. Bimla Kujur, a person affected by leprosy from India, together with Dr. Mugwena Maluleke. The declaration highlights the role of education in breaking the cycle of stigma and discrimination, promoting knowledge and empathy, ensuring inclusion, and empowering teachers and students to safeguard human rights.

Two special seminars followed the launch ceremony. Special Seminar 1: Perspectives from the Field, facilitated by Dr. Takahiro Nanri, Sasakawa Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) Initiative, featured updates on the global leprosy situation and a dialogue with teachers’ union leaders from leprosy-endemic countries and persons affected by leprosy.

Special Seminar 2: Unlocking Education’s Power to End Leprosy-Related Stigma and Discrimination, facilitated by Dr. David Edwards, General Secretary of Education International, was a multi-stakeholder dialogue including representatives from UNESCO, the Damien Foundation, VVOB – education for development, and persons affected by leprosy from Brazil.

Dr. Nanri closed the event by reaffirming the central role of education: “Today, we confirmed one thing: education is the key. To end discrimination and share the truth about leprosy, we must harness the transformative power of education. Today is not the goal but the starting point for our work to eliminate discrimination once and for all.”

About leprosy
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is an infectious disease that primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. In 2024, 172,717 new cases were reported worldwide. Although leprosy is curable, delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in permanent disability. Beyond the physical toll, many people who have experienced leprosy continue to face deep-seated stigma and systemic discrimination, which prevents them from participating fully in society.

About Sasakawa Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) Initiative
The Sasakawa Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) Initiative is a strategic alliance of WHO Goodwill Ambassador Yohei Sasakawa, the Sasakawa Health Foundation, and The Nippon Foundation for achieving a world without leprosy and problems related to the disease. Since 1975, the Initiative has contributed over US$200 million to support national leprosy programs through the WHO. It is also committed to empowering persons affected by leprosy and their organizations. The Initiative has played a key role in raising leprosy as a human rights issue at the UN, resulting in several resolutions to eliminate discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their families.

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 57th China International Furniture Fair (CIFF Guangzhou 2026) will take place in Guangzhou from March 18 to 31 under the theme “CONNECT•CREATE.” As a core segment of the Fair, the Office and Commercial Space Exhibition, scheduled for March 28-31, will place sustainability at the center of its agenda. By translating sustainability concepts into tangible commercial opportunities, the exhibition seeks to drive industry advancement through the resonance of values and business innovation.

The exhibition will present a comprehensive green workplace model, upgrading three key sectors—office environments, office seating, and public commercial spaces—to demonstrate green practices that span materials, design, and spatial applications.

Office environments are rapidly evolving as hybrid work matures, well-being drives productivity, and the Net-Zero Industry Act accelerates change. Responding to these shifts, the exhibition will highlight people-centered, low-carbon, and digitally integrated office solutions, presenting furniture and supporting products alongside fast-growing segments such as healthcare, senior care, and smart office applications.

Health-oriented design will also be central to seating solutions, as ergonomic innovation and sustainable materials converge to address long-term well-being in the workplace. The sector will demonstrate how seating design can support healthier postures, adaptive workstyles, and environmentally responsible production, reinforcing the role of furniture in holistic workplace performance.

Public Commercial Space will be another key focus, mirroring shifts in design and operation. As uses converge and technology embeds, sustainability and resilience take priority.  Solutions on display will address diverse scenarios, including education, healthcare, hospitality, commercial complexes, and transport hubs, featuring modular systems, low-carbon materials, intelligent space management, and healthy environmental control technologies.

The exhibition will also launch LUMINOUS PATH 2.0, a series of thematic showcases that bridge industry collaboration, cultural narratives, and future-oriented experimentation.

Linking Design Star will emphasize the commercial transformation of sustainable ideas, while D&A Culture Center installations will revisit classic office design concepts and explore new scenarios shaped by collaboration and circularity. The 2026 Office Theme Pavilion will present an experimental office environment built with sustainable materials and modular design logic, integrating architecture, products, and art to envision next-generation office ecosystems.

As a core part of CIFF Guangzhou 2026, the Office and Commercial Space Exhibition reinforces the Fair’s role as a global industry hub. Industry professionals are invited (register here: https://xt.ciff-gz.com/3807/index.html?ly=57EH00014 ) to gather in Guangzhou to explore sustainable solutions, exchange insights, and identify new opportunities shaping the future of work.
