<img style="max-width: 100%; height: 152px; float: right;" src="https://static.vikaspedia.in/mediastorage/filestorage/20260905104607_IWDP_Logo.webp" alt="Uploaded Image" width="152">During 2026, the International Week of Deaf People (IWDP) is celebrated during 21 to 27 September 2026. The theme for 2026 is Declaring Deaf People&rsquo;s Human Rights.
Daily themes
21 September 2026 -&nbsp;20 Years of the CRPD and National Sign Languages &nbsp; As we mark 20 years of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, we celebrate a recognition: national sign languages as full and equal languages. 20 years on, recognising national sign languages means reaffirming a commitment to deaf people&rsquo;s human rights and ensuring these rights are fully implemented.
22 September 2026 - &nbsp;&nbsp;The Right to a Quality Multilingual Inclusive Education (CRPD Article 24) &nbsp; Education is a fundamental human right. For deaf learners, access to education in the national sign language is essential for their development, identity, and inclusion. Multilingual education, including national sign languages and deaf-led learning environments, ensures that no deaf child is left behind.
23 September 2026 - Declaring Deaf People&rsquo;s Human Rights &nbsp; Declaring deaf people&rsquo;s human rights is a call to action: to make these rights effective in all areas of life of all deaf people worldwide. It requires recognition, commitment, and concrete implementation. For deaf people, this means ensuring full access through national sign languages.
24 September 2026 - No Access Without National Sign Language (CRPD Article 9) &nbsp; Accessibility is a human right, but it cannot be achieved without the national sign language. For deaf people, access to public services and information depends on the availability of national sign language services and inclusive communication. True accessibility includes national sign language at its core.&nbsp;
25 September 2026 - Nothing About Us Without Us (CRPD Article 4.3 and 33)&nbsp; &nbsp; Deaf people must be at the centre of decisions that affect their lives. Deaf-led organisations play a key role in shaping inclusive policies and advancing rights. Meaningful participation ensures stronger, more sustainable outcomes for all.
26 September 2026 -&nbsp;Deaf Culture Is a Human Right (CRPD Article 30) &nbsp; Deaf people are part of vibrant linguistic and cultural communities. The CRPD recognises the importance of respecting and promoting deaf culture and identity. Promoting national sign languages also means protecting cultural diversity and human dignity.
27 September 2026 - 75 Years of Human Rights &nbsp; In 1951, the World Federation of the Deaf was founded on a belief that deaf people everywhere should enjoy full human rights. Seventy-five years on, that founding commitment is inseparable from the work of our 138 national member organisations, the CRPD and its recognition of national sign languages and deaf culture in all areas of life. The work continues. Deaf people&rsquo;s rights are human rights.&nbsp;
