UK Government News Ratification for Deaf - IDC
Hello Welcolme to IDC Blog. Signed Islington Deaf
Campaign.
We are very pleased to tell you -about the time!
The Government been attending to New York today
to ratified International Treaty: UN Convention on
Right of People with Disabilities ALSO Deaf!
Fanstanic!
IDC on history that Betty (Chairperson), myself
and IDC been lots of meetings for human rights
campaign for make sure our rights are match
to equality.
We first become very interested in this Treaty
in 2006. We asked details about International
Treaty wow very important to us. We want
these rights! IDC been asking for our Islington MP
Jeremy Corbyn MP to sign with International Treaty
and he did asked the Parliament with questions
and got the answers.
The Government says they will sign the Treaty,
then finally they did in March 2007. We
realise that it is only signed which means only
support these principles from the Govenment.
Not enough. Only signed. There is no law
changing at all. We IDC kept going and
campaign these to the Government.
Today the Government officially ratified
which means our rights we can use now -
high standard. We can tell the Government
to comply with the Treaty. If the government
ignore, we can use this treaty to show them!
What rights will we have? (Briefly)
1. Right to expression, your views and opinions
in Sign Language. Access to Information in
BSL. Right to your linquistic identity of Deaf
Community. It is YOURS identity that proud!
2. Access to BSL Teachers, Interpreters
3. MOST IMPORTANT - Deaf Children - access to
billigualism - first language BSL and English.
If you want more information, you can read the
Convention, or you can contact IDC.
This means IDC been successful campaign
on this issue. But we have more action to
make this happen.
Please you deaf people support IDC -
need to work together, share information,
respect each other.
