The Association of Sign Language Interpreters of Nigeria (ASLIN) is proud to announce a groundbreaking event, the First Female Sign Language Interpreters' Conference, set to take place from July 28th to July 31st, 2025 at the prestigious Abuja Continental Hotel.
Theme:
"The Role of Female Sign Language Interpreters in Mitigating the Causes of Gender-Based Violence Among Deaf Women in Developing Countries."
This conference addresses a pressing issue affecting a vulnerable community — Deaf women — who often face compounded marginalization and limited access to justice and support systems.

Bridging Silence and Safety Gaps for women who are deaf: The role of female interpreters
Empowering Deaf Girls through inclusive communication and advocacy
Breaking Barriers and Enhancing Access to Justice for women who are in vulnerable communities
Creating Safe Spaces as a solution to confidence-building between deaf women and female sign language interpreters in developing countries
From Vulnerability to Empowerment: The role of development partners and government in improving the lives of deaf women in developing countries
Building Resilient Network Support for female sign language interpreters and women who are deaf against gender-based violence in developing countries
