The International Day of Sign Languages is an unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users.

Established by the United Nations in 2017 to commemorate the founding date of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) on September 23rd, 1951

According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are approximately 72 million deaf people worldwide. More than 80% of them live in developing countries. Collectively, they use more than 300 different sign languages.

The 2026 International Day of Sign Languages calls for action to make deaf people’s human rights a reality in all areas of life. Under the theme “Declaring Deaf People’s Human Rights”, the Day highlights the importance of recognising, protecting and promoting these rights, including full access through national sign languages.

This is also the theme for the International Week of Deaf People, which is observed from 21st to 27th September 2026 with daily sub-themes.

People observe Yom Kippur through a 25-hour period of intense fasting, prayer, repentance, and abstaining from physical comforts.
