Why it is important to you about our Sign Language and the Deaf people?
Have a look at the detail..
Reach out and influence
as many governments as possible to legally fulfill their obligations.
Promote deaf people as unique
in having both perspectives of disability and linguistic minority and that sign language and deaf culture strengthens multilingualism and are means of promoting, protecting and preserving diversity of languages and cultures globally.
Reflect the principles of the CRPD
in its recognition of sign languages as equal to spoken languages. Sign languages are fully-fledged natural languages, structurally distinct from spoken languages, alongside which they coexist.
Emphasise sign language as a critical prerequisite
to the full realisation of human rights for deaf people. Early access to sign language and services in sign language, including quality education available in sign language, is vital to the growth and development of the deaf individual and critical to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals.
Stress “Nothing about us, Without us”
when working with Deaf Communities, the principle ‘Nothing about us, Without Us’ must be integrated.
