Question 22123 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Josiane Corneloup draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for disabled people, to the injustice being done to deaf people in France. Indeed, the non-recognition of French sign language (LSF) is real discrimination against them. The inclusion of French sign language in the Constitution would make it possible to establish real equality of opportunity between all French people, and thus allowing deaf people to have access to the same public services as their fellow citizens: accessibility in administrations or even the possibility of choosing to use LSF in their daily life. This constitutional inscription is a recommendation of the UN and the European Union. Several countries are already pioneers, for example Portugal and Finland. The Constitution ensures equality before the law for citizens without distinction, and this equality cannot be effective without the constitutional recognition of French sign language. She therefore asks him to clarify his intentions regarding the inclusion of French sign language in the Constitution during the next constitutional revision.
