Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) aims to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about online access and inclusion. It builds understanding of how people with disability interact with websites, apps and other digital environments, and the steps we need to take to achieve fair access to information. 

The global standard for web content accessibility is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version2.1. It was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)’s Web Accessibility Initiative, in pursuit of a web that is accessible to all.
