Note: Flag next to a link shows what language the website is in. This is sometimes obvious by what country the link is for or the fact that the title is in English. If I feel it may be ambiguous, I have tried to clarify by using a flag. This is done so that people can read sites in the language of their choice.

Azerbaijan Deaf Society is a member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), an international, non-governmental, central organization of national associations of the Deaf. WFD's large membership reaches across many continents and emphasizes removing barriers to communication and improving the situation of sign language. Other major concerns include better education for people who are Deaf and improved access to information and services. Programs for better living conditions for people who are Deaf in developing countries have a high priority in the work of the federation. The WFD gives its member organizations encouragement and support in their efforts and offers its expertise when the organizations are launching new projects.
