0:00:04.033,0:00:06.656
Hello you all!

0:00:06.656,0:00:13.013
My name is Sanzio

0:00:13.013,0:00:14.705
I'm from Turin

0:00:14.705,0:00:17.175
I make this intervention because

0:00:17.175,0:00:20.255
I see many people asking

0:00:20.255,0:00:22.007
how is going with the Sign Language (LIS) [br]Law Approvation

0:00:22.007,0:00:27.635
The Law is approved[br]or is still not approved?

0:00:27.635,0:00:28.925
Well I'll let you know that

0:00:28.925,0:00:31.775
the LIS Law isn't approved yet

0:00:31.775,0:00:34.051
is in processing phase

0:00:34.051,0:00:38.096
First of all the proposal law [br]was approved in Senate

0:00:38.096,0:00:42.005
The debate there is finished,[br]then approved

0:00:42.005,0:00:51.093
so the proposal law was brought in "Camera"[br]and then now they're discussing it

0:00:51.093,0:00:54.315
when will be approved there

0:00:54.315,0:00:57.405
it will be passed at Republic President [br]that signs it

0:00:57.405,0:01:05.526
then it will become official Law thru[br]"Gazzetta Ufficiale" publication

0:01:05.526,0:01:12.315
So the situation right now[br]is held at the "Camera"

0:01:12.315,0:01:18.365
The discussion is held more precisely[br]in Social Affairs Commission

0:01:18.365,0:01:23.375
It's one month that are[br]discussing, already 3 times

0:01:23.375,0:01:29.505
the last time, May 3rd, [br]they're discussing on LIS

0:01:29.505,0:01:36.935
Do you want to know if LIS is [br]going ahead or not?

0:01:36.935,0:01:43.017
So i'll let you know that the path is[br]revealing very very difficult

0:01:43.017,0:01:49.115
eh yes, the situation is not good

0:01:49.115,0:01:55.013
Because in the last time, May 3rd

0:01:55.013,0:02:02.083
they doesn't want anymore the "LIS" [br]denomination, they want to change it

0:02:02.083,0:02:08.941
4 deputies want to change the[br]denomination

0:02:08.941,0:02:13.000
With the following motivations:[br]too straight to LIS

0:02:13.000,0:02:20.123
more oral Deaf people than[br]Deaf Signers

0:02:20.123,0:02:23.665
the technology will cancel[br]the Sign Language

0:02:23.665,0:02:30.123
the doctors say that in future[br]the Deaf will be hear better

0:02:30.123,0:02:34.715
so there will be no need [br]to Sign Language

0:02:34.715,0:02:42.385
at the end, the proposal is[br]to change the denomination

0:02:42.385,0:02:52.011
from LIS to LMG

0:02:52.011,0:02:58.066
LMG: what does it mean?

0:02:58.066,0:03:03.385
Language

0:03:03.385,0:03:06.098
Mimic

0:03:06.098,0:03:12.033
Gestual

0:03:12.033,0:03:20.155
I repeat: LMG

0:03:20.155,0:03:29.058
before going ahead[br]let's stop one moment to reflect

0:03:29.058,0:03:35.095
the LIS and LMG difference

0:03:35.095,0:03:39.005
is very important to understand the difference

0:03:39.005,0:03:46.275
LIS means Lingua dei Segni Italiana[br](Italian Sign Language)

0:03:46.275,0:03:48.076
with the word "Lingua", Language

0:03:48.076,0:03:53.038
there is the implicit recognition[br]on life style, culture

0:03:53.038,0:03:59.565
in a purely visual world[br]as is the deaf world

0:03:59.565,0:04:13.072
it means that in the human society [br]there is the Deaf identification

0:04:13.072,0:04:17.043
and this brings respect to Deaf people

0:04:17.043,0:04:25.795
and respect to the person

0:04:25.795,0:04:33.695
and the equal dignity

0:04:33.695,0:04:36.039
it's clear this?

0:04:36.039,0:04:46.675
LMG, if we say instead [br]"Linguaggio" (Language)

0:04:46.675,0:04:50.965
it's an artificial thing

0:04:50.965,0:04:59.855
it means that if you aren't[br]capable of speaking

0:04:59.855,0:05:04.525
so I give you the possibility[br]to gesticulate

0:05:04.525,0:05:07.765
and this doesn't bring to any recognition

0:05:07.765,0:05:11.085
of culture, the lifestyle[br]of Deaf people

0:05:11.085,0:05:15.015
and this brings at the concept [br]of disability, as:

0:05:15.015,0:05:21.085
you need [br]and I give you this

0:05:21.085,0:05:28.047
this mean that the Deaf people[br]isn't recognized as Deaf

0:05:28.047,0:05:31.035
but as disabled person

0:05:31.035,0:05:40.051
and us as people with our[br]dignity are discriminated

0:05:40.051,0:05:43.835
as always has happened so far

0:05:43.835,0:05:52.845
so did you understand the substantial difference[br]between these two concepts?

0:05:52.845,0:05:58.835
At the Camera the situation is this

0:05:58.835,0:06:03.435
they are at the third session

0:06:03.435,0:06:04.785
and these are continuing in the [br]final approvations

0:06:04.785,0:06:08.785
and outside there are a lot of protests against[br]Lis recognition

0:06:08.785,0:06:15.032
and affirms that LIS is not needed and[br]this idea is growing more and more

0:06:15.032,0:06:17.595
and US????

0:06:17.595,0:06:20.805
what we do?[br]when do we protest?

0:06:20.805,0:06:23.255
we ask to know[br]but really

0:06:23.255,0:06:26.885
and we Deaf sleep[br]wake UP!!

0:06:26.885,0:06:32.505
It's for our future,[br]do we want fair dignity?

0:06:32.505,0:06:36.525
do we want to have possibilities[br]in the future?

0:06:36.525,0:06:38.495
LIS oh yes, we know it and it's[br]our language. Do you want it?

0:06:38.495,9:59:59.000
or you prefer to be soothed[br]with LMG?
