Deaf Women Aloud Initiative (DWAI) is an organization that is poised to amplify the voice of the deaf women in Africa whose voices have been drowned by the convention and status-quo.
DWAI will raise awareness among general populations about sensitive issues that affect deaf women and their children. Issues like sexual and reproductive Health Rights (SRHR), sexual abuse, gender based violence, injustices, stigmatization and discrimination.
DWAI exists to mitigate the exploitation of deaf women, eliminate discrimination, promote social inclusion and enhance secular participation of deaf women in Africa. It will also promote political participation of people with disabilities and rehabilitation of deaf women. DWAI will promote policy formulation and their implementation to enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
To redefine deafness and create an Africa state where every deaf person is heard and accepted in all social strata
To empower deaf people to claim access to information, health services, education, business and employment opportunities for purposeful living.
