Breaking Barriers: Deaf Survey Research Analysis Nigeria by University of Wyoming

The statements "𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙛 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨," "𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙛," and "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙛, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠" reinforce misconceptions about the deaf community, portraying them as unaware or ignorant, which is far from the truth. "Breaking Barriers: Deaf Community Insights in Nigeria" is a volunteer project in collaboration with Viz for Social Good and the Global Deaf Research Institute. It presents findings from a survey of the Nigerian deaf community, highlighting areas such as health, communication, quality of life, experiences, and discrimination. The goal is to challenge harmful stereotypes and raise awareness about the real lives of deaf individuals. The data, cleaned using Python, ensures accurate representation of the community’s experiences. Through this visualization, the project aims to foster understanding, promote inclusivity, and open doors for better opportunities and support for the deaf, both in Nigeria and globally.
