Deaf Awareness Week moves beyond sound—building equality, connection, and rhythm that even silence can carry.
Philippines—November 10 to 16, 2025
Some hear the world through music. Others feel it through silence.
This week is for those who prove that rhythm doesn’t belong only to the ears. The Deaf community has always known how to turn silence into art—feeling the beat through vibration, seeing melody through movement, and expressing harmony through sign.
The week’s main goals:
• Educate the public about the culture, rights, and abilities of Deaf Filipinos
• Promote Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as their official and natural language
• Push for accessibility in schools, workplaces, and public spaces
• Empower Deaf individuals through education, training, and employment
• Strengthen inclusion and equality in all areas of society
• Build connection between the hearing and the Deaf—through respect, understanding, and shared creativity
Here in the Philippines, Deaf Awareness Week isn’t about pity.
It’s about equality, visibility, and rhythm shared beyond sound.
Because silence, too, can sing.
