And they are not protecting their rights.He added: "Also, the optimal use of public services such as educational facilities, studies and referring to many public places, due to the absence of a translator, is done with many problems."Nafrieh pointed to the need to use a sign language interpreter in public centers and said: "Considering the need to use a deaf translator in universities and higher education centers, government offices, judicial authorities and medical centers to facilitate social communication, education, employment and In general, to provide services to the deaf applicants in all parts of the country, the State Welfare Organization has provided a suitable platform for training and sending specialists in sign language (sign language interpreter).
