How to understand deaf rights?
Even though Deaf people have the same rights as everyone else, implementation of four basic factors is tantamount to the protection of the human rights of Deaf people:
Sign Language
Sign languages in each country are natural languages of Deaf people. The very general misunderstanding is that sign language is universal, the same in every country. In reality, sign languages vary from country to country just as spoken languages do. Each natural sign language that is being used by Deaf community is part of the country’s cultural, social, historical and religious heritage. In order to preserve the full heritage of each country, it is necessary to respect sign languages. Recognition of sign language(s) is also a way to enhance and give respect to the overall linguistic and cultural heritage of each country and of humankind.
