Global Accessibility Legislation
Global Initiative
Governments around the world are recognizing that with an aging global population, it is necessary for governments to require state agencies and corporations to ensure access for all citizens equally.
Equal opportunity to participate and engage in society is now deemed an inalienable right to all people in every state. With nearly 10 percent of the world's population, or 650 million people living with a disability, it is your responsibility to engage all members of society and to remove barriers any way possible.
Creating accessible and inclusive communications and communities is the first step to achieving full participation by all global citizens. Each country is developing its own standards to ensure its citizens are able to fully engage in their day to day lives.
Below is a list of all of the countries that have existing accessibility legislation today, or under development for an accessible tomorrow.
