From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The organization was founded in 2005, following the government adoption of the Qatari Sign Language in 2001.[3] It is affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage. Founded as a smaller part of a collection of civil rights reformations in the country targeted at providing awareness and technology to a historically underserved group.[4]
Mission
QCSCD's primary objectives involve helping deaf people assimilate into the hearing society and offering unique services to them.[5] In addition, they aim to inform deaf individuals of their rights, while also advocating via media for the adoption of new laws to avert discrimination.[6] More narrowly defined goals by the organization include improving the translation of written text to sign language and making emergency services more accessible to deaf people.[7]
