International Day of Sign Languages 2025
The world is home to diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. One aspect of this rich tapestry of human expression is sign language. Every year, the International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) serves as a reminder of the significance of sign languages as a means of communication for the deaf community and their role in ensuring a more inclusive and accessible world.
The Significance of the Day

Migration is a hallmark of human history. People have always moved, be it for better opportunities, safety, or to escape hardships. International Migrants Day, celebrated on December 18, highlights the contributions and challenges of those who leave their homes in search of a better life and the interconnectedness of our global community.
