Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is observed to raise awareness about the importance of making digital spaces accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. The goal is to promote understanding of how accessible design helps create equal opportunities for all users, such as those with visual, auditory, or mobility challenges. On this day, organizations and individuals highlight best practices and encourage the development of inclusive technology—websites, apps, and digital tools—that are usable by everyone, regardless of their abilities. Ultimately, GAAD aims to foster a more equitable digital environment worldwide.
