Signing for Change: The International Day of Sign Languages Sparks Joy for World Safe ePay Day

 I am advocating for World Safe ePay Day.

The final goal of all my Blog Posts and social media interactions is to have a Day declared as World Safe ePay Day.

 


**Struggle for World Safe ePay Day Intertwined with International Day of Sign Languages**

 

Every year on **23 September**, the United Nations recognizes the **International Day of Sign Languages**, celebrating the rich linguistic diversity of the Deaf community and advocating for their rights. This day is crucial not only for raising awareness about the importance of sign languages but also for highlighting the urgent need for accessibility across all facets of life—including financial systems. This aligns closely with the ongoing **struggle for World Safe ePay Day**, which emphasizes the necessity of inclusive and secure digital payment options for everyone, including the over 70 million Deaf individuals worldwide.

 

The **International Day of Sign Languages** is a powerful platform for promoting the rights and recognition of sign languages, echoing the principles of the **UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)**. This convention underscores the importance of equal access to information, services, and education. As we celebrate this day, we must remember that a significant portion of the Deaf community lives in developing countries, where barriers to secure digital payment systems remain prevalent. Without access to safe ePayment solutions, many Deaf individuals face economic marginalization, limiting their ability to participate fully in the digital economy.

 

This year’s theme, “**Sign Up for Sign Language Rights**,” calls on world leaders to embrace national sign languages and promote an environment where Deaf individuals can engage fully in society. However, this inclusivity must extend into digital spaces. It is crucial to ensure that ePayment systems are accessible, user-friendly, and equipped with resources such as visual aids and sign language support. By advocating for safe ePay solutions, we can empower Deaf individuals to navigate the digital marketplace confidently, reducing barriers that often lead to economic isolation.

 

The **Blue Light Challenge** during the International Day of Sign Languages encourages governments to partner with national Deaf associations. This initiative serves a dual purpose: it promotes the rights of sign language users and emphasizes the critical need for accessible digital transactions. By shining a blue light on sign languages, we also shed light on the need for financial technologies that prioritize the rights and safety of all users, regardless of their linguistic background.

 

As we gather to celebrate the **International Day of Sign Languages**, let us also focus on how to create a future where **World Safe ePay Day** symbolizes not just secure transactions, but the empowerment of all communities—including the Deaf community—through accessible financial systems. This day is a reminder that advocating for the rights of one group inherently elevates the rights of all, fostering a society where everyone can thrive, sign, and transact without barriers.

 

Let’s unite in this important movement. Share your thoughts and experiences using the hashtags:

By joining the conversation, you become part of a global effort that champions both linguistic diversity and economic inclusion, paving the way for a more equitable future for all.
