September is Deaf Awareness Month!
September 15: Deaf Awareness Week
Deaf Awareness Week exists!
It refers to two annual events: a week-long (or a month-long) observance in September that is now part of the larger International Week of the Deaf (IWD) and celebrated globally.
And a separate week in May that is observed, particularly in the UK and other regions.
The purpose of both is to increase public awareness of Deaf culture, history, sign languages, and the challenges, barriers, and discrimination the Deaf community faces, advocating for greater inclusion, understanding, and equal access for all.
