The UAE is celebrating the 45th Arab Deaf Week between April 20-27, 2020 in cooperation with all deaf service providers in the UAE and in conjunction with the Arab Federation of Organisations Working with the Deaf.
The Ministry of Community Development, MOCD, announced that it will organise a series of events and initiatives across the week.
This year’s celebration comes under the title “The Right of Deaf to Get Married and Support by Community Institutions.”
The Ministry organises several awareness activities which focus on important information and facts, remote and online lectures and workshops; such as “Taalul Live” through the ministry’s Instagram account with sign language to introduce the community members with the importance and constituents of deaf marriage; another sign language remote workshop for Zayed University students; an online sign language course for children and awareness publications through the ministry’s account on social media to introduce the community members with these categories, and increase their awareness on the priorities and needs of the deaf people in the society.
