1958 – First World Deaf Day (WDD) in Rome, September 28
Welcome
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.
