Women with children in Nagoya have new opportunities to converse using sign language, after the creation of a new social group.
Called Defu Mama Saakuru mimi (Deaf Mothers Club ears), the group was established by two mothers, one of whom has a hearing disability. The women discuss topics such as giving birth and actions to take in the event of a natural disaster.
The club welcomes mothers with or without hearing problems, and currently has 22 members from Nagoya, Toyota, Komaki, Inazawa, Nisshin, Obu, and Togo, all in Aichi Prefecture.
