Gallery: Croatian statue gets socks for World Down Syndrome Day

Slavonski Brod is raising awareness about the condition

To mark World Down Syndrome Day on 21 March, the Croatian City of Slavonski Brod added pink and blue socks to the sculpture of Šegrt Hlapić. As people with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome and chromosomes are shaped like socks, people worldwide wear odd and colourful socks to raise awareness on this day.
