    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1) to make a Statement on the Deaf Awareness Month that is marked in the month of September every year. This is a topic of general concern nationally and internationally. The deaf awareness month is marked so as to raise awareness on issues of deaf persons, their cultures, concerns and challenges. The purpose of the deaf awareness month is to ensure inclusivity of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). It, therefore, ensures inclusivity of the deaf who are the minority. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the deaf have linguistic challenges. It is, therefore, prudent that their issues are understood. Understanding issues will make them be included in the society. Deafness is a continuum. For instance, there are some people who are deaf but not aware. This is because there is a long chain of continuum. We have people who are mildly deaf and those who are severe in terms of deafness."
