Beyond the data: Recognising the intersectional identities of European deaf communities in official statistics

EUD has published a new report, “Beyond the data: Recognising the intersectional identities of European deaf communities in official statistics”. The report highlights that deaf people remain largely invisible in EU and national datasets, or are counted only through a medical lens of “hearing loss”, which erases their status as national sign language users and members of cultural and linguistic minorities. It calls on EU institutions, Member States and National Associations of the Deaf to develop accessible, sign-language-inclusive and intersectional data collection, so that policies and advocacy for the officialisation of national sign languages can rely on robust evidence.
