Seventy-five years after the WFD was founded in Rome on 23 September 1951, this two-day conference marks a historic milestone in our global movement and a day of celebration. Under the theme “Declaring Deaf People’s Human Rights,” we invite participants from around the world to reflect on past achievements, address present challenges, and shape a future where the human rights of deaf people are fully recognized and upheld.

By participating, you will gain an overview of the state of the art in international projects, activities, research, and social activism. It will be a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge and practices with a global Deaf audience, build networks across regions and sectors, and contribute to the advancement of Deaf people’s human rights worldwide.
