Description:
A new sign language glossary with over 230 signs related to sex, sexuality and reproductive health is expected to improve access to sex education by the deaf and hearing-impaired community in Sri Lanka. The glossary, which includes translations of the signs into English, Sinhala and Tamil, could also help deaf people report sexual assaults and other crimes.
