International Day of Sign Languages observed on 23 September

General Knowledge (judicial) Important Days

The International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) is celebrated annually across the world on 23 September.
The day is a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users. Sign language gives people, who are hard of hearing, a medium to converse.
As the name suggests, this day aims to spread awareness regarding the importance of sign language in the realisation of the human rights of people who are deaf.
The theme for the 2022 International Day of Sign languages is “Sign Languages Unite Us!”.
