Speaker
In the COVID-19 era, ‘Alienation of Information Vulnerable Class from Disaster Information’has emerged as a social issue.
‘The alienation of information’ aggravates social strife and isolation beyond daily inconvenience and difficulty in responding to crises.
Among them, the """"The alienation of information”of hearing-impaired people, who are unable to receive information immediately after a disaster, are threatened to various human rights such as the right to survive, personal rights, and social participation throughout their entire life cycle.
In a mainstream society centered on speech language, the deaf people centered on sign language are often completely alienated from mainstream information. As a result, technical support is essential, such as replacing various information that relies on voice language with text language or sign language so that hearing-impaired people do not suffer from information discrimination.
Jeju Island recognizes these problems preemptively and is pioneering a new area of ‘public sign language interpretation’for the coexistence and cooperation of all classes. Jeju applied sign language interpretation to all provincial government policies so that Jeju residents are not alienated from public information such as disasters.
This is a leading example and is drawing attention from the government and other local governments.
Henceforward, “Public Sign Language Interpretation”should be another channel to actualize world peace and human rights by guaranteeing human rights through bridging the public information gap beyond simple welfare services, and expanding the participation of hearing-impaired people.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights appeals that the foundation of a peaceful world is laid when the equal rights of all human families are recognized. The expansion of the """"public sign language interpretation"""" policy implies institutional and policy implications for realizing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In this session, we will seek the direction of “Public Sign Language Interpretation” to be used all over the world to guarantee the human rights and secure the rights to participate of the hearing-impaired people.
