The “Hear my Voice - Empowering the Deaf” Conference was concluded at the “Mohammed Bin Rashid Academic Medical Center” at “Dubai Healthcare City”, in cooperation with “Kalimati Speech and Communication Center”, and the “UAE Deaf Association”, with the support of the “Telecommunication Regulatory Authority”.

The Conference, held under the patronage of his Excellency Sheikh “Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan”, Minister of Culture, Youth, and Community Development, stressed on the importance of integrating deaf persons and those who suffer from hearing impairment into the community, through the provision of education and job opportunities, social inclusion, and the recognition of their sign language. The Conference addressed topics on the vocational training for the deaf, reading strategies, supporting deaf women, their rights, and the challenges that they face in the community and in institutions in the fields of education, work, communication, and different services. It also included workshops on sign language used in the UAE, in the presence of experts and a number of deaf persons, who achieved successes in their lives. The audience included local and private federal authorities concerned with special need persons in general, and the deaf in particular.

The Conferees attached importance to the agreement on the rights of special need persons and its role in empowering the deaf and teaching them in the Arab world, through conditioning the curricula and academic classes in integrated schools, addressing the challenges and the transition plan for deaf students, and reading strategies, in addition to language and communication challenges.

The Conference is part of the activities held by the authorities working with the deaf in the Arab world each year, during the last week of April, which is called the “Deaf Week”, and is considered the week of rights and a comprehensive media event to identify deafness and prevention.

 

The “Arabian Union of whom deals with Deafs” decided to choose “The Sports of the Deaf” as the slogan of the (39th) “Arab Deaf Week” for (2014), in order to identify the deaf, their abilities, the methods of raising and rehabilitating them, and the channels of linguistic and speaking and sign communication with their peers and community members, in addition to directing the different media to shed light on their basic, health, educational, psychological, economic, and rehabilitative rights. It also aims to enable deaf persons and those with hearing impairment and their associations to play an effective and positive role in the sustainable and comprehensive social and economic development.

The intellectual awareness in the UAE contributed to the development and activation of the role of this category in the community. For instance, girls from the “UAE Committee of Sports for the Deaf” of the “U.A.E Disabled Sports Federation” won the first three positions, at the conclusion of the “Table Tennis Championship for the Deaf - Females”, with the participation of (10) female players.

“Abduallah Ismail Al Kamali”, Secretary General of the “UAE Deaf Association”, emphasized the importance of the committees’ work to communicate with the deaf, and overcome the obstacles they face in their daily life, calling for the heads of the committees to take the initiative to develop ideas and suggestions that aim to raise the productivity of the deaf, and integrate them in the community. “Al Kamali” announced the allocation of an annual award for the best committee in the field of events, activities, and initiatives related to addressing the challenges that face the deaf in the society.

 

The heads of the deaf committees in the different parts of the State participated in the “Thank You Khalifa” initiative, which his Highness Sheikh “Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum”,Vice President, Prime Minister, Ruler of “Dubai”, called for, as they translated the phrase “Thank You Khalifa” into the sign language in a video clip, in which they expressed their thanks to his Highness Sheikh “Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan”, the President of the UAE, and to inform the deaf people around the world that the Emirati deaf are all blessed under the umbrella of a wise leadership.
