The persons with hearing impairment urge to commemorate Bangla Sign Language Day on 1 February to ensure the rights of persons with hearing impairment in Bangladesh. Already Government is observing National Disability Day, International Day for Person with Disabilities, World Autism Day, World White Cane Day and some other days to ensure the rights of persons with disabilities. World White Cane Day observed by the government for the persons with visual impairment but, persons with hearing impairment, the largest section amongst persons with disabilities in Bangladesh, are always ignored from their rights and dignities. The persons with hearing impairment states, Bangla Sign Language can explicitly uphold the unique characteristics of this people. So, it is essential to commemorate Bangla Sign Language Day on 1 February by the government to ensure the rights of persons with hearing impairment. By commemorating the day communication and relation will be properly build up between the government and the people with hearing impairment.

Make it happen. Feb 1st needs to be the day.
its about time they get some recognition. why should they be left behind?
Finally someone said it. The deaf community in BD deserves respect and their own day just like everyone else.
My cousin is deaf and she struggles so much because people dont understand her. This would help a lot.
SO IMPORTANT. Bangla sign language is our identity too. recognize this day please.
