Hola. Esta es nuestra historia.
We made Spain rewrite its Constitution.
Access on this page: Signed: Spanish Sign Language — pending How this page is tested
Ley 27/2007 recognised Spanish and Catalan sign languages on 23 October 2007 — a milestone the Deaf confederation had pushed for over decades. Real Decreto 674/2023 finally wrote the rules for using them in public services. And on 17 February 2024 Spain rewrote Article 49 of its Constitution: the word disminuidos is gone. In its place, personas con discapacidad, in universally accessible environments — the Constitution's first social reform since it came into force in 1978. The law is ours. The screens still are not.
LSE video — this story, in our language
A named Spanish Deaf creator tells this page's story in LSE. The video is the page, and the text is its transcript's cousin. This video existing is the reason this page is allowed to exist.
The Constitution now says accessible.
Now we make the screens say it too — ourselves.

Access in Spain today
The law now says:
Sign languages are recognised — Ley 27/2007, since 23 October 2007. Television carries sign-language quotas — Ley 13/2022. Emergency calls can be made in sign language through SVisual, the Deaf confederation's own video-interpreting platform, running since 2009. And since 17 February 2024 the Constitution itself promises universally accessible environments.
And we know the exhausting part: a right written in 2007 waited sixteen years for its regulation. A Constitution that says accessible does not caption a single film by itself.
The Constitution is ours. The delivery comes next — made by us. That is what ally is: Deaf and blind creators, paid to make the access — LSE, LSC, captions, audio description — delivered to any screen.
In plain words
The law is on your side. What is missing is the service — and that is what gets built here, with the community.
Why captions alone are not enough → Why sign language
