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 that makes it possible to call the police, fire brigade or ambulance without having to send an SMS or call 112 via an interpreter.
