About International Day of Sign Languages
The General Assembly established the day in 2017 following an initiative by the World Federation of the Deaf. First observed in 2018, it falls on 23 September, the anniversary of the federation's founding in 1951. Sign languages are diverse; there is no single universal sign language.
