DDL	The core of the national work of the Danish National Association of the Deaf is Danish sign language. With Danish sign language, DDL strengthen the deaf community and the individual's sense of opportunity, agency and control over their own everyday lives. The results of DDL's international efforts lead to respect for the rights of the deaf, solidarity, volunteerism and stronger local and national communities in Danish sign language. Danish Deaf Association and the National Police have in collaboration developed an app, named “Akuthjælp til døve”, that makes it possible to call the police, fire brigade or ambulance without having to send an SMS or call 112 via an interpreter. The project is funded by Trygfonden. The app is available for both iPhone and Android.	Website
