As we commemorate International Deaf Awareness Week, I am delighted to join the global Deaf community in celebrating the dignity, abilities, achievements, and contributions of Deaf people.

This year’s theme, “Declaring Deaf Human Rights,” reminds us that Deaf people are equal members of society and are entitled to the same fundamental human rights, opportunities, freedoms, and respect as everyone else.

At Mbale School for the Deaf, we believe that every Deaf learner has the right to quality and inclusive education, access to information and communication, participation in community life, protection from discrimination, and the opportunity to develop their talents and reach their full potential.

Let us use this week to challenge negative attitudes and barriers that limit Deaf people. Let us promote Ugandan Sign Language, accessibility, inclusion, equality, and meaningful participation of Deaf people in decisions that affect their lives.
