Deaf Empowerment
Deaf Empowerment refers to supporting individuals who are Deaf in gaining control over their lives, culture, and communication choices. It emphasizes recognizing Deaf identity as a rich linguistic and cultural community, advocating for equal access to education, employment, and social opportunities. Empowerment involves respecting Deaf people's autonomy, promoting sign language use, and challenging societal barriers or misconceptions. The goal is to enable Deaf individuals to participate fully and confidently in society while honoring their cultural and linguistic heritage.
