Deafness in Somalia

The exact number of the deaf population in Somalia is unknown, but it's estimated to be around 4,000 people. Somalia has been making steady progress in disability rights. Despite this, in Somalia's Disability Report published in 2024, there was minimal focus on hard-of-hearing (DHH) Somalians or Somalia Sign Language, missing information about education for the deaf community. However, a school in Mogadishu, Somalia, teaches deaf children using Somali Sign Language.
