“Ask Before You Share”: Deaf Community Leads the Conversation on Digital Citizenship in Soweto
At the close of Deaf Awareness Month, the Deaf Empowerment Foundation and KAS South Africa brought Deaf citizens and public institutions into the same room to ask who is responsible when rights go digital, and what happens when those rights can’t be accessed.
The Lab generated active participation and constructive discussions on digital rights and responsibilities. Practical scenarios encouraged participants to examine daily online challenges, while institutional engagement clarified rights, reporting procedures and available remedies. Community discussions also identified accessibility concerns and emerging recommendations to inform the proposed Deaf Digital Citizenship Charter.
