ARAUJO, Paulo Jeferson Pilar  and  BENTES, Thaisy. DEAF MIGRANTS IN SCHOOLS: questions of inclusion and human language rights. Revista Teias [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.69, pp.35-49.  Epub Feb 28, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2022.66089.

In this article, a relationship between migration and deafness is made, focusing mainly on the case of deaf Venezuelan migrants in the state of Roraima. An overview of Venezuelan migration in Boa Vista and some aspects of education for this part of the population are presented. It also presents a case of an extension program aimed at assisting deaf migrants and which values the migrant's sign language. As an objective of the work, the possible implications for the field of migratory studies are demonstrated, with attention focused on the specificity of the deaf communities that migrate. The results indicate a total absence of linguistic and educational policies aimed at deaf migrants and refugees, which demands a rethinking of the practices of schools that seek an inclusion that is still unfulfilled, based on the ideology of monolingualism of the national languages. At this point, the premises of linguistic human rights are invoked and the possible and practical fronts of action for a school that really opens the doors to the deaf migrant population in Brazil.

Keywords : migration and refuge; deafness; Roraima; linguistic human rights..
