A global Muslim Ummah that recognizes the rights of Deaf Muslims and actively strives to ensure that it is accessible and inclusive of all Muslims.
The Global Deaf Muslim Federation is a global organisation working to ensure equal rights for deaf muslims around the world.
Close collaboration with Muslim organizations is undertaken to facilitate accessible and inclusive Sign Language services for Deaf members of the Ummah. Additionally, support is provided to Deaf Muslim national organizations, equipping them with essential training and skills for growth and development through strong capacity-building initiatives.
What We Do
Advocating for the advancement and inclusion of Deaf Muslims within the Muslim Ummah.
Information about Islam is rarely available in sign language, making it challenging for Deaf Muslims to learn about Islam or conduct independent research. The Global Deaf Muslim Federation identified the lack of accessible materials and the exclusion of Deaf Muslims from Masjids and Islamic organizations as critical issues to address. Our mission now extends globally, focusing on raising awareness about the complex challenges faced by Deaf Muslims and working to create meaningful solutions.
International Advocacy
Through international advocacy, we champion Deaf rights and well-being globally, fostering equitable opportunities, understanding, and acceptance of Deaf culture around the world.
Ensuring Inclusiveness
We are committed to removing barriers that limit Deaf participation in society by promoting awareness, enabling accessible communication, and building supportive environments.
Empowering Individuals
Our mission is to empower Deaf individuals with the tools and opportunities to thrive, building confidence and success through education and skill development.
