The Role of Technical Standards in Improving Digital Accessibility in Under-Resourced Regions and Communities
Keyword(s):
People with disabilities in under-resourced communities, including in low-income and lower middle-income countries and in many Indigenous communities, have not yet benefited as much from digital accessibility as have people with disabilities in higher-income regions. This chapter addresses factors that contribute to these disparities and describes the role of standards in promoting digital accessibility. It describes barriers to participation, approaches that can help improve opportunities for people from under-resourced communities to engage in development of accessibility standards and accessible technologies, and steps that can increase promotion and uptake of digital accessibility standards in under-resourced regions and communities.
