March 13th – 19th 2021 is a week dedicated to raising awareness of the problems that sign-language users encounter on a daily basis. Throughout the week, a series of campaigns and educational projects are launched that are aimed at making deaf people feel more reassured and highlighting their needs and problems.
On social media sites like Twitter, the hashtag #signlanguageweek is used by users to help raise the profile of Sign Language Week and to connect deaf people all over the country.
