The theme “No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights” is a reminder that language is the gateway to every other right. If Deaf people are denied access to sign language, they are denied the ability to learn, to work, to participate in civic life, and to be fully included in their communities. But this is not only about the Deaf community — it is about all of us. Societies that recognize and embrace sign language become more inclusive, more connected, and more human. When homes/families, schools, workplaces, healthcare systems, and governments provide space for sign language, they are not offering a privilege; they are upholding a basic right. And when hearing people learn even a few signs, they help dismantle barriers and open doors. Supporting sign language rights means creating a culture where everyone has the freedom to communicate, to belong, and to thrive — a culture where human rights are not conditional, but universal. Take action today: learn your first Ugandan signs, share the message, and stand in solidarity with the Deaf community. Together we can make sign language rights a reality for all.
