Today is ⁠The International Day of Sign Languages!!⁠ ⁠ The theme of the #IDSL2020 is "𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦!" and this celebration is an opportunity:⁠ ⁠ 👍 to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users⁠ ⁠ 👍 to promote understanding among people about the problems deaf people face in the community ⁠ ⁠ 👍 to draw the attention of the general public, the world’s politicians and development

"Deafness is a tragedy" common thinking🙄⁠ ⁠ "You're deaf? Oh, I'm so sorry!". This is one of the worst things you could say! ⁠ ⁠ Deafness isn't a disease or an illness. If they're not sorry, you shouldn't be sorry either😉⁠ ⁠ 𝗧𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 #𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗺: https://www.deafumbrella.com/post/audism-deaf-awareness-week-2020 ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #StopAudism #DeafAwarenessWeek #DAW2020 #DeafAwareness #deafcommunity #DeafUmbrellaBlogPost #knowledgeispower⁠ #deafworld #deafculture #deafumbrella
