[governance] 'Most websites' failing disabled

[David Goldstein]

Hi all,

In light of ongoing discussions about accessibility between the world's rich and poor countries, this survey highlights huge problems on accessibility for the world's 600 million people with disabilities, or 10% of the world's population. 80% of this group lives in developing countries.

Cheers
David

'Most websites' failing disabled
Most (97%) of the leading websites around the world are failing to provide the most basic accessibility standards for people with disabilities.

The survey was across 5 sectors in 20 countries.
