A mental health nurse in the United Kingdom has recently been banned from the profession after using abusive language towards a Deaf patient. Andrea Burdon was found to have threatened to "knock out" and "kill" the Deaf patient during an incident at All Saints Hospital in England in May 2020. Burdon, who had already resigned from her role at the time of the incident, admitted to police that she became "worked up" during the confrontation. After a four-year investigation, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) panel recently determined that her actions were unacceptable and removed her from the nursing register. 

A 39-year-old Deaf man from Belgium has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in a murder case in India.

Mozambique is struggling with climate change, including issues such as flooding and drought. USAID is concerned about people with disabilities, such as the blind and Deaf individuals, who may not be aware of climate change information. They aim to inform and warn the community by sharing important information to raise awareness about climate change. USAID has funded and disseminated this information to ensure that people have access to it. Additionally, they are planning to invite individuals with disabilities and Deaf people to give presentations, such as on TV. The Deaf Association in Mozambique is also involved in this project, providing presentations and broadcasts to reach a wider audience. They seek to partner with USAID to improve the lives of Deaf people through better access to information.

In 2019, the Zambia Deaf Association submitted a petition to the court to allow Deaf people in Zambia to obtain driving licenses. Recently, the court decided to decline this request, citing that the current law prohibits Deaf people from driving. The Deaf community is upset, feeling that their human rights are being disregarded. Although the law acknowledges the rights of people with disabilities, it still prevents Deaf individuals from obtaining a license. The Zambia Deaf Association is heartbroken by this decision but continues to lobby and resubmit their petition, hoping that they will eventually be granted the right to drive.
