Accessibility
Estimates of the percentage of the world's population that is disabled vary considerably. But what is certain is that if we count functional disability, then a large proportion of the world's population is disabled in one way or another. At CIS we work to ensure that the digital technologies, which empower disabled people and provide them with independence, are allowed to do so in practice and by the law. To this end, we support web accessibility guidelines, and change in copyright laws that currently disempower the differently abled.
Meeting on National Policy for e-Access
This is a meeting of all persons and organisations who are interested in having a national standard for web accessibility and enforcing mandatory compliance by all Government web sites. The main agenda will be to dwell on the importance of web accessibility and chalk out a plan of action and strategy for its advocacy.
