The Danish Deaf Association is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation working for the benefit of the approximately 4.000 Danish deaf people who are using Sign Language. The objective is for deaf people to obtain the same rights and entitlements as any other citizen. The Danish Deaf Association is consulted regarding all aspects of the social conditions for the deaf and disabled.  Through political lobbying in The Danish Council of Organisations of Disabled People (DSI) and The Danish Disability Council, the organisation speaks to politicians in order to influence them to provide the deaf with acceptable services. The Danish Deaf Association also works with international organisations for deaf people.
