International Day of Sign Languages flag raising at Parliament 2025

Here’s your chance to watch a powerful moment in history – the Deaf Flag raised at New Zealand Parliament for the very first time!

Huge ngā mihi to World Federation of the Deaf Board member Victoria Manning for raising the flag with pride and purpose, and to everyone who braved the weather and the wind to mark this special occasion.

It’s amazing to see the growing reach and awareness of International Week of Deaf People and International Day of Sign Languages – a testament to the strength and visibility of our communities globally.

The theme, No Human Rights without Sign Language Rights, reminds us why this mahi matters.
