The city of Rosarito has launched a Mexican Sign Language course for public employees in an effort to improve communication with the local deaf community.
The program, which began this week, is led by the city’s social inclusion department and is designed to give municipal workers practical tools to better serve deaf residents. Officials say the goal is to break down communication barriers and ensure equal access to city services.

Belinda Rodríguez Moreno, the city’s secretary of inclusion, attended the launch and described the effort as part of a broader push to make local government more accessible and responsive.
Kassandra Margarita Gámez Parra, who heads the city’s diversity and social inclusion office, called the training a first step toward meaningful change within municipal government. She said even small improvements in communication can make a significant difference for residents.

Mayor Rocío Adame Muñoz said her administration is committed to making inclusion part of everyday operations across city departments.
“We are working to make inclusion a daily reality across all areas of municipal government,” the mayor said. “An inclusive municipality is one that listens, serves, and guarantees rights without distinction.”
City officials say the course represents a concrete move toward building a more accessible government, with each participating employee helping bridge the gap between city services and the deaf community.
