he World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) is an international non-governmental organisation representing and promoting approximately 70 million deaf people's human rights worldwide. The WFD is a federation of deaf organisations from 134 nations; its mission is to promote the human rights of deaf people and full, quality and equal access to all spheres of life, including self-determination, sign language, education, employment and community life. WFD has a consultative status in the United Nations and is a founding member of International Disability Alliance (IDA). At its recent World Congress in Jeju, South Korea, WFD members (136) approved the WFD strategic direction 2023-2030 and Action Plan 2023-2027. Important themes are covered in these 2 documents which strive to ensure that we create access for all deaf people to all ways of life in "a world where deaf people everywhere can sign anywhere" (vision). Furthermore, our mission is to work towards the full realisation of linguistic rights and human rights in all areas of life, with full recognition and implementation of these rights across local, national and international levels. To realise our mission and vision, the following are part of our Action Plan 2023-2027: Building Capacity across the Globe: ensuring increased participation of women, youth and underrepresented communities; provide effective capacity building projects to countries who are not yet members to assist them with creating their own national deaf associations so that they can represent themselves in their countries; Putting Deaf people on the Agenda: the WFD will continue to strive to put deaf human rights at the forefront of all representation internationally, including at the UN; we will effectively promote International Week of Deaf people and be ready to response to deaf people's needs in times of crises, disasters and war. Realising nothing about us without us: the WFD continues to be the leading authority for deaf people and sign languages and has committed to developing resources to assist deaf people raise awareness in their countries. Achieving Sign Language Rights for all: National sign languages are fundamental to achieving deaf people's human rights. We will aim to assist our member states in promoting the legal recognition of signed language in the country and advocate for early childhood language acquisition and inclusive multilingual education policies. Investing in a strong and sustainable organisation: to carry out our mission and vision we need greater investment in our secretariat and regional secretariat, expand our donor base, increase visibility and fundraising activities so that our organisation can carry on its important global work.

Established in 2010, the Women's Support Center (WSC) is the premiere domestic violence (DV) center in Armenia dedicated to preventing and addressing domestic abuse. We work to protect, rehabilitate, and empower survivors and change the legal, educational, and social conditions that contribute to a culture of silence around DV. We make change in three key areas: service delivery, prevention, and strengthening of institutional responses. The WSC offers a 24-hour hotline, psychological counseling, legal aid, 2 safe houses, life and parenting skills education, and professional training, including a successful economic empowerment program. We advocate for women's rights and mobilize communities to change individual knowledge and attitudes about violence against women. Finally, we work at an institutional level to create community-based protection and accountability systems, enhance the capacity of key decision-makers, and support the implementation of multi-sectoral policies, action plans, and legislation. Annually, the WSC's 24-member staff provides comprehensive services to over 1,000 women and children, nearly 300 of whom require safe shelter. Today, many of our beneficiaries are living free of abuse, which has had a powerful ripple-effect on their families and communities at large. The WSC has a long history of successful partnerships with the police, ministries, and other government agencies as well as women's organizations and other community-based organizations. We have trained thousands of police, social workers, psychologists, students, health care providers, and other state and civil society service service providers across Armenia to apply best practices and strengthen the institutional DV response. Considered experts in our field, we are periodically called on by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MLSA), Council of Europe, UNHCR, and other agencies with whom we partner to lead DV training sessions. Additionally, we have produced and disseminated social work standard operating procedures, shelter best practices, and a police guideline. Our engagement and interventions with the MLSA and other key stakeholders have yielded significant outcomes: At the MLSA's request, we helped draft a 3-year National Action Plan and offered amendments to several sub-legal police orders. Moreover, the WSC played a pivotal role in dramatically improving DV legislation by presenting a comprehensive package of proposals to its authors, most of which were incorporated into the final legislation in 2024. Finally, the WSC was chosen by the MLSA in 2020 to lead a large-scale program to establish DV support centers in every province of the country. These centers are partially subsidized by the state and have come together as members of the Coalition of Domestic Violence Support Centers, founded and led by the WSC. Our database structure and intake forms have been approved by the MLSA as standards, and the WSC is responsible for ensuring that all DV support centers operate using a standardized approach and work together as a cohesive unit-ultimately enhancing the DV response nationwide.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.
