The International Week for Deaf People (IWDP) is a time to celebrate and raise awareness about the deaf community. This week-long event runs from 17th -25th September with the theme “A World Where Deaf People Everywhere Can Sign Anywhere”. Also providing an opportunity for people all over the world to come together and learn about deaf culture, sign language, and the experiences of deaf individuals.
As we begin this year’s IWDP, we mark an important day for deaf children worldwide as we celebrate the Declaration on the Rights of Deaf Children. This declaration recognizes the unique needs and rights of deaf children and promotes equal access to education, language, and social opportunities. We call on everyone to join us in signing the Declaration and promoting awareness about the rights of deaf children.
South Sudan National Deaf Children & Youth (SSNDCY) is holding an official Launching Event in the community and other activities such as Mobilization of deaf people join the organization as members, Radio Talk Show, Community Clean Up Activity, Presentation on GBV and SRHR, Sharing the experiences through Dialogue by Deaf youth, and Online Campaign.
By raising awareness and promoting understanding of deaf culture and experiences, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and accessible society for all. Let's work together towards achieving this goal.
