Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Deaf Awareness Week is commemorated between 29 August and 4 September 2011;
2) further notes that the purpose of the week is to raise awareness about the challenges that deaf people face and their successes;
3) recognises the importance of educating individuals about deafness, and ensuring an inclusive society that allows deaf people the opportunity to thrive;
4) asserts its commitment to equal rights for all South Africans and assisting people with disabilities; and
5) calls upon all South Africans to constantly affirm the constitutional right of every individual to dignity and equality.
Agreed to.
