Every year on September 23, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Sign Languages, which was officially recognized by the United Nations in 2017. This special date was chosen to honor the founding of the World Federation of the Deaf on September 23, 1951.
During the International Week of the Deaf, the theme "Sign Language Rights Are Human Rights" emphasizes the importance of creating a society where deaf individuals can easily access sign language services tailored to their needs. Around the world, people are working to increase awareness and legal recognition of sign language rights so everyone can feel comfortable communicating in sign language anytime, anywhere.
In this video, our deaf and hard-of-hearing colleagues at Kyocera's headquarters in Japan will teach a few basic Japanese Sign Language expressions commonly used in the office. How would you express each of these signs in the sign language of your country?
Kyocera is dedicated to building an inclusive environment where individuals of all abilities can share ideas freely, support one another, and reach their full potential together.
