We live in a world where digital accessibility is all around us, so it’s vital that this technology is accessible for everyone to interact with. This campaign strives to raise awareness on changes that need to be made in order to create an inclusive digital world.
About the Digital Accessibility Matters campaign
Hear HeX Creative Director, James Hall, discuss the importance of our inclusive mission and ways that people can get involved with the campaign.
Why we need to campaign for digital inclusion
There is over one billion people who have some form of disability across the world. That equates to 1-in-5 people who might not be able to use a website, application, document, or social media channel due to it being inaccessible. Digital accessibility even reaches beyond these platforms, think about when you are out in your local town; how many services now have touchscreen devices or digital screens that present information? The answer is, most of them.
We live in a world where digital technology is now more prevalent than ever before, and it’s time to ensure that everyone can gain equal access to these vital resources.
