Perú
Hola. Esta es nuestra historia.
Two months ago, Peru gave the interpreter a tenth of the screen. By law.
Access on this page: Signed: Lengua de Señas Peruana — pending How this page is tested
Peru recognised Lengua de Señas Peruana on 21 May 2010 — Ley 29535 — and waited seven years for the regulation that made it real: in 2017 every public and private counter serving the public got 180 days to provide an interpreter. Article 22 of the 2012 disability law has required interpreters or subtitles on informative, educational and cultural television ever since. On 3 October 2024 Congress voted 100 to none to make it discriminatory to stop a Deaf person receiving information or communicating in LSP. And on 9 July 2026 Ley 32724 was published: news, state messages, emergency communications, electoral debates and public-interest programming must carry a Peruvian Sign Language interpreter or closed captions; only certified interpreters may do it; and the interpreter's box may not be smaller than ten per cent of the screen. The law is ours, and it now has a measurement. The delivery is what we build.
LSP video — this story, in our language
A named Peruvian Deaf creator tells this page's story in Peruvian Sign Language. 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.
Ten per cent of the screen is now the law.
Now we fill it — ourselves.

Access in Peru today
The law now says:
Peruvian Sign Language is officially recognised — Ley 29535, 21 May 2010 — and every entity serving the public must provide an interpreter — regulation of 2017. Informative, educational and cultural television carries interpreters or subtitles — Ley 29973, Article 22. Since 9 July 2026, news, state messages, emergencies, electoral debates and public-interest programming must carry a certified LSP interpreter or closed captions, in a box no smaller than ten per cent of the screen — Ley 32724, with regulations due within thirty working days.
And we know the exhausting part: a law two months old, a regulation not yet written, and an interpreter registry that was never sized for every bulletin in the country. Ten per cent of the screen is a measurement; the people to fill it are the missing part.
The screen has been measured. The delivery comes next — made by us. That is what ally is: Deaf and blind creators, paid to make the access — Peruvian Sign Language, 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.
