What is GAAD?
Celebrated every third Thursday in May (this year, it is May 16th), GAAD is a day to spotlight digital accessibility and inclusion. It's a global movement promoting the creation of digital spaces accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
Have you ever thought about how we access information online? We scroll, swipe, and tap—it all seems seamless. But behind the screen, millions face barriers. Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate the importance of making the internet inclusive for everyone.
Why Does Accessibility Matter?
An accessible digital world means everyone can:
- Access news and information
- Connect with friends and family
- Learn and develop new skills
- Participate in online communities
- Engage in e-commerce
In short, accessibility levels the playing field and opens doors to opportunity.
GAAD reminds us that even small changes can make a big difference. By working together, we can build a digital world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Together, we can create a more inclusive digital world! 🌎
