International Affilaition

WFDRSA

WFDRSA is Regional Secretariat in Asia. WFDRSA continues to encourage deaf persons in Asia so that they will be able to join our international network. We will continue to advocate for the rights of deaf persons to access information in sign language. Deaf persons are often the last to access information in the face of natural disasters. Access to information is an urgent issue. We will cooperate with UN ESCAP, APCD, and governments to promote a better environment for deaf persons.
