About us
Together for more digital accessibility. Without ifs and buts.
Digital media is for everyone, but not everyone can use it. Many people think of accessibility in terms of elevators, handicapped-accessible rooms, or traffic lights with audible signals. But what does accessibility mean in the age of digitalization? According to a study by Aktion Mensch on the usage behavior of people with disabilities, it means that people with disabilities can use the Internet, i.e. perceive, understand, navigate and interact. In its 2006 Human Rights Convention, the United Nations even defines unhindered access to information and communication, including the Internet, as a fundamental human right.
