The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 23 September as the International Day of Sign Languages in order to raise awareness of the importance of sign language in the full realization of the human rights of people who are deaf.
About:
The International Day of Sign Languages was first celebrated in 2018 as part of the International Week of the Deaf.
The choice of 23 September commemorates the date that the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), a federation of 135 national associations of deaf people, was established in 1951.
WFD is an advocacy organisation with the mission of preservation of sign languages which is a pre-requisite to the realisation of the human rights of deaf people.
