Access on this page: Signed: Lengua de Señas Peruana — pending How this page is tested
This page in sign language
Signed end to end by a Deaf creator, credited by name. International Sign on the global site; your national sign language on your country page.
ally is a platform where creators make sign language, captions and audio description — and one API delivers it to any screen. We are looking for the partner who will build the Peruvian operation with us.
Why we are looking for a partner
One partner video — spoken, captioned and signed by a creator we already work with. It is shared across every open-market page. We do not fake a local signer to look established here.
The people
Peru's sign language is Lengua de Señas Peruana (LSP), officially recognised by Ley 29535 on 21 May 2010 and regulated in 2017, when every entity serving the public got 180 days to provide an interpreter. Ley 32724, published 9 July 2026, requires a certified LSP interpreter or closed captions on news, state messages, emergencies, electoral debates and public-interest programming, with the interpreter's box no smaller than ten per cent of the screen. CONADIS keeps the interpreter register.
In plain words
Below is who lives here and what reaches them. Every number on this page is a research seed, not an audited claim — we mark them, rather than publish numbers we cannot yet stand behind.
Why captions alone do not close this gap → Why sign language
The mandate
published 21 May 2010; regulation by Decreto Supremo 006-2017-MIMP in 2017, giving public and private entities serving the public 180 days to implement interpreter services.
informative, educational and cultural programmes broadcast on television must carry sign-language interpreters or subtitles.
first vote 100 in favour, exonerated from second vote with 92: it is discriminatory to prevent a Deaf person from receiving information or communicating in Peruvian Sign Language; public entities must include Deaf and deafblind people in language-policy instruments.
published 9 July 2026: modifies Ley 29973 to guarantee timely and effective access to information for people with hearing disabilities in the media; interpreters or closed captions on news, state messages, emergency communications, electoral debates and public-interest programming; only certified interpreters; the interpreter's box no smaller than 10% of the screen; regulations within thirty working days.
Obligated buyers: television broadcasters under Ley 32724 and Article 22 of Ley 29973, every public and private entity serving the public under the 2017 regulation, and public bodies under the 2024 amendment's non-discrimination rule.
The gap
Peruvian compliance has just acquired a ruler. The 2012 law's Article 22 already required interpreters or subtitles on informative programming; the 2026 law names the programme types, fixes the box size and restricts the work to certified interpreters — and gives the executive thirty working days to write the regulations. The registry of certified LSP interpreters is small against every bulletin on every channel. Subtitles assume reading fluency in Spanish; LSP is the Deaf community's first language.
What we bring
These are patterns, not promises — each one happened somewhere, and each carries its source. The place is abstracted because the pattern is what transposes.
Pattern
A replicable template: the ordinance language, the budget logic and the service behind it travel together. Any city can copy it.
Two city ordinances — one on healthcare accessibility, one on cinema accessibility — have passed first reading, with ally as technical partner.
Receipt: Parañaque City Council records
Pattern
The platform exists before the first contract. Buyers pay for a service, not for research.
ally's pre-operating research and development was supported by a national science research grant and a city government grant.
Receipt: company fact
Pattern
Real usage, real feedback, and the model for any school or district that wants signed content on what students already watch.
A telco-funded 2021 pilot brought the platform to a Deaf school community of about 800 users.
Receipt: company fact
We publish our signals — including the zeros — on the impact page.
The partnership
The structure is a licensed market operation, built with the local community. Terms are discussed directly.
The playbook
The partner
Operators with standing in accessibility, media, telecom, or government services. Deaf-led organisations and entrepreneurs are explicitly welcome — the best operator of an accessibility market may come from the community itself. Investors are welcome alongside an operator, or to introduce one.
Why now
The law is two months old and its regulations are being written now. A partner who can supply certified-quality Peruvian Sign Language at the scale of a national news schedule arrives before the first compliance deadline, in the market that has just defined what compliant looks like on screen.
Next step
Write to us — by form, by email, or with a signed or spoken video message. From there: an introductory call, an NDA, the Peruvian market dossier, then terms.
