Founded in 1951, it aims to promote the rights and well-being of deaf individuals, advocating for their inclusion in society and access to education, employment, and healthcare. The WFD works with various stakeholders, including governments and non-governmental organizations, to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the deaf community.
