Based on data collected by Eurostat this volume provides the first discussion of statistics on the condition of Deaf people in a series of European countries concerning education labor gender. This creates a new opportunity to discuss inequalities on the basis of data.

A work of empowerment is effective if it acts on a double level: the community to be empowered and society at large resulting in a transformation of society as a whole. This book provides instruments to work towards such a transformation.
