Deaf awareness: Among this week’s commemorations are International Deaf Awareness week (running from Monday through next Sunday), as well as Deaf Dog Awareness Week, marking the hearing impaired both among humans and their furry friends. Tuesday is also International Day of Sign Languages, bringing awareness to the way that deaf individuals communicate.

Indirectly related, Sunday also begins International Interpreters and Translators Week.
