There are millions of deaf people in the world, yet deaf individuals often face challenges linked to communication barriers and stigmatisation. Deaf awareness means becoming more aware of these challenges and working to be a more inclusive society where the deaf community can thrive and contribute fully.
By becoming deaf-aware, we promote equality, as it acknowledges the rights of deaf people to access information, education, and services without discrimination.
Who benefits from Deaf Awareness?
Literally everyone! Everyone will benefit as the barriers and challenges start to reduce. Deaf colleagues, family and friends of deaf people, education providers, colleagues, and service providers. We can all work together to promote equality and make everyone feel more comfortable and confident with communication, regardless of their level of hearing.
