WFD - Over 70 Million Deaf People In The World

WATCH: Over 70 million Deaf people in the world... believe it or not.

There are over 70 million Deaf people in the world. Many of them are either Deaf from birth or became Deaf before learning the spoken language.

This fact has serious implications for the education of Deaf people. To be Deaf means to not hear or comprehend speech and language through the ear.

Communication for a person who cannot hear is visual, not auditory. To deny sign language to Deaf people is tantamount to denying them their basic human rights to communication and education.



Video Description/ English Summary: The video has two points, (1) that the World Federation of the Deaf estimates that 80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all. (2) How does this make you feel? Isn't this a shocking, disgusting, and infuriating statistic? So what do you plan to do about it?

1 - "80% of Deaf people do not receive any education at all." If you have your Paddy Ladd's "Understanding Deaf Culture: In Search of Deafhood" near you, grab it and flip to page 44. Alternatively, at the end of this very paragraph there's a link that will take you to the WFD article that the citation in the book is from: Read The Full Info.

2 - "There are over 70 Million Deaf People in the World." http://wfdeaf.org/faq
