accessibility legislation

Accessibility legislation refers to laws designed to ensure that all individuals, including those with disabilities, can access and participate fully in society. These laws set standards for buildings, transportation, services, and digital content to remove barriers and promote equality. For example, they may require ramps and elevators in buildings, accessible public transportation, and websites that can be used by everyone. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where no one is excluded or disadvantaged due to physical or sensory impairments.
