What is the primary purpose of DAW?

The primary purpose of DAW (Deaf Awareness Week) is indeed to raise awareness about deaf culture. This initiative focuses on educating the public about the experiences, challenges, and contributions of the deaf community. By highlighting deaf culture, DAW encourages understanding and promotes inclusivity, dispelling myths and fostering respect for the diverse ways in which deaf individuals communicate and engage with the world.

Raising awareness is essential for breaking down barriers that the deaf community often faces, such as social isolation or misconceptions around communication methods. Through various activities, events, and promotions during DAW, the community seeks to enhance visibility and appreciation of deaf culture.

While conducting sports tournaments, providing legal resources, and offering educational workshops are all valuable activities that may benefit the deaf community, they do not capture the overarching aim of DAW, which is primarily focused on awareness and cultural education.
