World Deaf Day is observed annually on the last Sunday of September to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the deaf community and to promote inclusivity and equal access to resources. The day is part of the International Week of the Deaf, which was first initiated by the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) in 1958.
World Deaf Day focuses on highlighting the importance of recognizing sign languages, advocating for the rights of deaf individuals, and encouraging governments and communities to provide better services, education, and opportunities for the deaf population. Events such as public discussions, rallies, sign language workshops, and awareness campaigns are often held to celebrate the day.
This observance is a crucial part of fostering greater understanding, inclusion, and empowerment for the deaf community globally.
