September 23 is the International Day of Sign Languages.

Accessibility is a human right, but it cannot be fully achieved without national sign languages. For Deaf people, access to public services, information, education, and community participation depends on inclusive communication and the availability of sign language services.

True accessibility includes sign language at its core.
