The International Day of Sign Languages 2025 will be observed on September 23 with the theme “Sign Language Unites Us.” This day, recognized by the United Nations, emphasizes the role of sign languages in ensuring inclusion, accessibility, and cultural diversity for the deaf and hard of hearing community. The date was chosen to commemorate the establishment of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) in 1951, a global body advocating for deaf rights. By highlighting sign languages as tools of empathy and unity, the day underscores the importance of accessibility in education, workplaces, and public life.
