Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is celebrated every year on the third Thursday of May to champion digital access for people with disabilities. It’s often overlooked that many websites and apps aren’t built with everyone in mind. Today, that truth takes centre stage. This isn’t just talking about doing the right thing, but recognising the massive, often untapped potential of over a billion people who deserve to equal access to to top-notch digital experiences.


Imagine navigating the web with a screen reader or customising your device to fit your physical abilities. For many, these aren’t just features; they’re essentials. Wherever you are, today is a reminder that digital inclusion is not negotiable. So, let’s spread the word. Go on, we dare you to mention this date to one other person today – and watch that ripple effect of awareness spread.
