♦ International Sign Language Day (International Day of Sign Languages) is observed every year on September 23 to raise awareness about the rights of the deaf community and other sign language users. This day was established in 2017 by the UN General Assembly and was celebrated for the first time in 2018. The choice of 23 September commemorates the date that the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) was established in 1951.
